Description

Approved for 1 CertNexus CEC for CyberSec First Responder (CFR) and 1 GIAC CPE.

When it comes to information support of defense missions, it is all about the data. Timely informed decisions are at the heart of effective command and control and that cannot happen without basics including tagging, formatting, and displaying data so it can be protected, shared and analyzed appropriately.  Cybersecurity is integral to protecting availability and accuracy of data.

Improved technology alone normally will not meet these requirements.  We need effective streamlined processes and polices to guide and support change in culture to maximize the usefulness of technology. Also, the complexity of implementing solutions increases with the daily need to operate with joint and coalition forces and civil agencies.

Our panel of distinguished leaders will discuss how the Sea Services plan to meet these challenges:

Ensuring Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) and Project Overmatch will inherently be able to support joint and coalition operations while seamlessly connecting all domains.

Providing for the cybersecurity to guarantee veracity of data used to inform decisions.
Determining if our implementation of   Zero Trust Architecture will be adequate to provide cross domain security, timeliness, and accuracy of data.
While streamlining include coalition partners, such as those in the Indo-Pacific.

Planning support for necessary gathering and sharing intelligence worldwide?
Coordinating streamlining in support of Homeland Defense roles?

Attendees can expect to hear these senior leaders of the sea services share challenges and opportunities for streamlining information policies, systems, and processes to ensure decision superiority.
