AI and cybersecurity aren't competing priorities. They're how modern organizations earn trust.
Eyaluta Seifu is a technology executive and founder working at the convergence of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity — advancing responsible AI adoption, modernization, and the governance that lets enterprises innovate at speed without trading away trust.
Eyaluta Seifu is the Founder and CEO of 10.13 Enterprise LLC, a Woman-Owned Small Business and federal contractor delivering transformative cybersecurity, AI, and enterprise modernization solutions. With more than a decade of leadership experience, she brings a distinctive blend of strategic vision, operational excellence, and technical depth to complex organizations undergoing digital transformation.
Under her leadership, 10.13 Enterprise has supported mission-critical initiatives across cybersecurity operations, cloud transformation, risk management, and enterprise modernization — from overseeing portfolios exceeding $100 million to modernizing legacy environments impacting thousands of users.
Her work increasingly focuses on the convergence of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, advancing practical approaches to responsible AI adoption and technical-debt remediation — helping organizations address the hidden risks of aging systems and emerging technologies. Her conviction: sustainable innovation requires balancing speed with trust, governance, and long-term resilience — AI and cybersecurity not as competing priorities, but complementary forces.
A sample of past performance led through 10.13 Enterprise across federal environments. Figures reflect publicly stated program outcomes.
Led Log4j patching and KEV-list remediation enterprise-wide, and built automated tooling to assign vulnerabilities to the right teams and track end-of-life system decommissioning to closure.
Automated baseline generation across Windows, Linux, VMware, and cloud, and secured system ATOs as ISSO — turning manual, spreadsheet-bound compliance into repeatable engineering.
Decommissioned 6,000+ Linux and Windows servers and supported full cloud migration, with disaster-recovery strategies reaching a 99% availability target.
Managed endpoint configuration and software compatibility testing across three standardized baselines, delivering 450+ test reports with automation covering 80%+ of packages.
Supported $100M ESSD budget growth and cut negative-balance reports by 95% through stronger financial analytics and reporting — while introducing process improvements across 11 work areas.
In October 2013, Eyaluta Seifu faced a moment that would redefine everything. As her father lay in the ICU on life support, she was facing her own health crisis in another wing of the same hospital — two lives held in the balance under one roof. In that place of uncertainty and vulnerability, a conviction took hold: to build something lasting, purposeful, and empowering.
The name 10.13 honors that moment — not as a memory of hardship, but as the point everything turned. It carries the values that now define the company: resilience in the face of challenge, adaptability in a changing world, and a transformative approach to leadership, technology, and service.
Founded in Washington, D.C., 10.13 Enterprise grew from a place of personal survival into a mission-driven, EDWOSB-certified firm delivering cybersecurity and strategic IT to federal clients — built on empowering people, innovating with purpose, and delivering secure, scalable solutions that make a lasting impact.
Federal AI and cybersecurity policy — NIST, RMF, OMB memos — translated into what an agency actually does next.
