5th Cyber Operations for National Defense Symposium



The 5th Cyber Operations for National Defense Symposium will bring together cybersecurity experts from across the Defense Community and other Federal agencies to discuss the intricate threat that cyberattacks pose to US national security. Speakers from organizations including the DoD and DHS will share their critical and unique insights into US cyber policy and the challenges we must overcome to effectively protect our interests against hostile state and non-state adversaries.

In response to the rapidly evolving nature of the cyber domain, our speakers will focus on the new initiatives towards modernizing government systems and executing both defensive and offensive cyber operations. Additionally, the Symposium will examine the recent elevation of USCYBERCOM, new rapid cyber capability acquisition protocols and the operationalization of Cyber Mission Forces.

Delegates from industry will have a unique opportunity to engage in open and honest conversation with key decision makers about the current and future direction of US cyber policy. Attendees will gain valuable insights into navigating cyber technology acquisition and hear about the cyber technologies urgently needed by cyber warfighters for the successful defense of American interests.
