Agenda

Abstract: Remaining ahead of the curve against evolving, sophisticated, and motivated adversaries requires the Department of Defense to provide the Warfighter an integrated suite of cyber capabilities to conduct the full spectrum of cyberspace operations. COL Ben Ring, Ph.D., Director of the Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA) Capability Management Office (JCMO) for USCYBERCOM, will discuss USCYBERCOM's doctrine for countering the threat environment and the technological efforts driving some of these cyber capabilities designed to overcome our adversaries in a rapidly shifting IT environment.

Dr. Saul will discuss the growing importance of data as an asset; how it provides critical insights, drives decision making, and enables emergent technologies. In addition, she will provide insight on how to manage it in the modern technology landscape.

Today’s DoD environment requires community application marketplaces, API hubs, and data made available as APIs for critical mission enablement. Complex missions require hybrid and multi-cloud operational control supported by devsecops automation, zero-trust security, and cross-cutting  microservice architectures. Combined, these capabilities enable connected intelligence that drives mission-critical decision-making, insight and force readiness.

Defense Digital Service is a rapid response team working within the Department of Defense. DDS surges in the time of crisis and emerging threat, takes the lessons learned and the technology built, and adds to the Defense Department's capabilities. In this session, two of DDS's Engineers will discuss recent projects that improved cyber security and data management while also working quickly to strengthen national security. 

Digital transformation is a critical focus across DoD. Simply implementing modern technology alone is not the answer to building a ready force. The force itself has to be closely considered and involved.  Attention must be paid to how end users want and need to interact with systems and the data they hold.

For nearly a decade, the battlefield has consisted of five domains: land, sea, air, space, and cyber. In this modern age of war fighting, where the battlefield exists as much in the digital world as it does in the physical world, data and the ability to process data at scale are differentiators that lead to mission success. Cloud is more than a fundamental component of the global infrastructure, it is a force multiplier that empowers the warfighter with relevant data, from headquarters to the edge, ensuring our military's technological advantage.

Time is of the essence when it comes to national security. Hear how NGA is evolving its digital landscape, data management, and warfighter support services to deliver geospatial intelligence at the speed of mission need.
