Panel Topics:
Panel 1 – Cyber-Defined – Policies and Definitions
We live in a maturing field of Cyber and the various DoD, Intel, and Federal agencies are all working feverishly to educate their workforce, fund their cyber capabilities, and respond to the new and upcoming legislation to protect, detect, and defend networks across the government space. This panel led by senior level Developmental Test and Evaluations practitioners will discuss the ongoing legislation requirements, how agencies can prepare, and manage the risk.
Panel 2 – Partnering – because we have to
The threat is now well documented and the time is past to stop focusing on how bad it is and start responding proactively to manage the risk and ensure mission success. Our Service Level Academies are working to train up a new breed of engineers who are well versed in not only cyber but the underlying machine level knowledge required to address these issues. This panel will discuss how to partner with industry, collaborate cross platform, and the power of “we are smarter as a group then as individuals.”
Panel 3 – The Threat – What you need to do and what the government is doing
As relationships mature and policy and guidance start rolling out across all platforms and agencies there are some key steps being taken to address the threat. While many times the discussion is masked with classification levels there are processes and procedures which can be put in place to mitigate risk and ensure mission success. This panel brings together industry leaders from DoD, Industry, and Academia to discuss the threat and how to start the discussion of securing the environment you support and work in.
