OneGov Unleashed: How Direct Deals Are Supercharging Federal Cyber & IT Modernization

GSA’s OneGov initiative is shaking up the way agencies buy and use technology — and it’s making CIOs excited. CISA CIO, Robert Costello, shares how OneGov lets federal leaders work directly with cloud, software, and OEM providers to move modernization projects forward faster. Cutting out extra layers between government and suppliers means clearer communication, better visibility into the supply chain, and quicker adoption of new tools. Costello explains that this isn’t just about technology — it’s about delivering solutions that work for operators and spending taxpayer dollars wisely.
He also dives into Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), describing them as the “ingredient lists” for software. SBOMs give agencies a clear picture of how their software is built, which helps them identify vulnerabilities and respond to threats more effectively. CISA recently teamed up with 18 federal agencies and international partners to release new guidance on SBOMs, providing a roadmap for stronger software supply chain security. Costello emphasizes that direct engagement with suppliers and open conversations are critical to preventing risks, boosting cybersecurity, and driving modernization — so that agencies can stay ahead of evolving threats and deliver better results for the public.
