In 2020, the FCC enabled shared spectrum to drive growth in private 5G networks. DoD and federal agencies are now capitalizing on spectrum access to build 5G private networks across a range of use cases with nearly $600M invested to date.

Working with a hybrid cloud--combined federal and commercial cloud environments--isn’t easy, but can revolutionize agencies’ abilities to fulfill their mission. Hybrid cloud networks push computing and data to the edge, opening up new vistas for employee and public services. Understanding how to adapt and operate in those environments is complex and requires operational and workforce changes.

A chance to stretch your legs and refill your coffee!

Over the past few years, edge computing has become essential to advanced networks (e.g., 5G and coming 6G), computing platforms, and a wide range of applications (e.g., industrial automation, automated driving). More recently, the research community and the industry are moving to the next frontier – edge intelligence or edge AI. Edge AI will be important for many aspects of future networks and networked systems, including enabling new AI-based architectures, creating AI-based network functions and applications, and providing quality assurance. This session will examine the evolution from edge computing toward edge intelligence, and illustrate key challenges and opportunities. 

Defending against advanced, persistent cybersecurity threats is a day-to-day requirement for many organizations.  As the organization's asset portfolio grows, manual security procedures can quickly become burdensome.  Enter automated red teams: a way to improve security posture and reduce expensive manual processes at the same time.

Advances in AI and machine learning technologies bring both challenges to and opportunities for securing federal information and systems. How might the adoption of AI via Agile and innovation-informed operations help federal agencies address ever-morphing cybersecurity vulnerabilities?

Acquisition has always been integral to advancing technology in the federal space. The old ways of buying it, however, are changing dramatically. As agencies look beyond old buying models, NASA's SEWP is helping to simplify procurement of cloud and other complex services and capabilities.

Talk to your doctor or even car mechanic about how they methodically work through a problem.  They start with the fundamentals, know the data, and then adapt along the way.  However, why is it that many times as cyber security experts, we instead jump straight to a solution that never had the required planning and extensibility needed to solve the problem in the first place.  During this presentation Aaron Smith, Regional Vice President of Technical Account Management at Tanium, will walk through the requirements, processes, and how to reach the goal of security resilience.
