Big Data for Defense & National Security Symposium

Information sharing and information overload challenges continue to dominate operational and acquisition planning within the Department of Defense, Intelligence, Homeland Security, and Law Enforcement communities. Increasingly, government agencies are looking for the latest tools and capabilities in big data and predictive analytics to provide the means to analyze, exploit and share conclusions drawn from the seemingly overwhelming inputs from ever-increasing numbers of sensors and sources.

This outstanding conference brings together the key government and industry experts who are shaping the direction of big data and predictive analytics research and development for defense, intelligence, homeland security, and law enforcement.

• What are the latest DoD, Intelligence Community, and Homeland Security needs and initiatives in big data?

• How is big data analytics being applied to ISR, intelligence sharing, video analytics, atmospherics, identity, biometrics, and a whole range of other critical mission applications? 

• What opportunities and challenges are presented by the convergence of cloud and large-scale analytics? 

• What are the security challenges? What solutions are emerging? What role(s) can industry play?

These and many other critical questions will be examined during this outstanding two-day event.
