5th Annual Cyber Security For Defense
A more connected defense and intelligence world means that warfighters receive more information faster and more accurately than ever. However this increased connectivity also means that there are more opportunities for cyber attacks, data leaks and other IT security breeches. This is the issue at the crux of modern cybersecurity issues: Developments in technology also mean new tools and strategies to protect our critical networks. The goal of this conference is to develop a program that will help cyber defense professionals defend legacy and cloud networks, protect connected weapons systems, thwart bad actors in their tracks and ultimately support our colleagues on the ground.
We are proud to bring you the 5th Annual Cybersecurity for Defense conference. At this years event we will cover these cutting edge threats and opportunities, from both a thematic and technical perspective. To do this we are curating a program that will include military cybersecurity leaders, technical experts, researchers, academics and industry members from both titans in the space and top disrupters. Come join us for three days of engaging topics, enlightening workshops and case studies, and peer to peer networking from across the DoD and greater Intelligence Community. Specifically this years conference will feature topics including:
• Cloud security
• Blockchain
• AI
• C4I security

• Protecting Connected Weapons Systems
• Policies and Standards
