It’s clear. Cyber will be on the frontlines of future wars. To prepare, the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community and Cyber Command are channeling the power of AI to protect against potential cyber attacks by teaming up to better standardize data collection. During this panel, Nextgov and Defense One will gather tech experts to discuss how battles will be fought by training AI to handle cyber attacks.

As the federal government shores up its systems and workforce, agencies must avoid defending against yesterday's cyber threats. New technology can make phishing attempts harder to detect and have users questioning the authenticity of data, images and information. To explore tomorrow’s technology and threats, Defense One and Nextgov are teaming up for the first-ever Cyber Summit on November 19 in Washington, DC. Join us to hear federal an...

What’s coming over the horizon? At the 2019 edition of Defense One’s annual look into the future, we will discuss global threats, industry trends, advanced technology, national-security policy, and 2020 politics through interviews with top leaders and conversations about bold ideas.

In the last five years, the tools used in defense have evolved from a staple of science fiction to a real-world magnet for large-scale investment. In Texas, that means modernizing defense health technology in San Antonio and the ever-expanding Army Futures Command with its hub now located in Austin. The research and development starting in the south will spark technological shifts that will accelerate tomorrow’s military.Join Defense One...

In the last five years, the tools used in defense have evolved from a staple of science fiction to a real-world magnet for large-scale investment. In Hawaii, that means channeling technological advances for Indo-Pacific security. As the administration's defense strategy has pivoted towards China and great power competition, how is the U.S. matching new capabilities to new strategy, and what needs to happen next?Join Defense One and Nextgov for...

At today’s rate of growth, the size of the digital universe in 2025 will be 176 zettabytes of information. To put that in perspective, a single zettabyte is enough to hold 250 billion DVDs. All of it could have some relevance to national security. The Defense Department and Intelligence Community will be in charge of managing an exponentially growing amount of outside data, along with an exploding volume of internal data from soldiers in...

Four years after top officials within the intelligence community first gathered to formulate a new approach to handling technology within its 17 component agencies, the resulting plan’s foundation has been laid and agencies are off and running. The Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise (IC ITE) is based on moving the IC agencies toward shared services.IC ITE initiative has focused and accelerated bureaucracy to achieve...

The government’s current IT trajectory is not sustainable, and DOD and other agencies must modernize their systems to make use of new data available to them, handle current and future security threats and maximize their returns on IT investments. The government spends about 80 percent of its $80-plus billion IT budget on legacy systems, leaving precious few resources available to modernize systems and test, develop and keep pace with ne...

With the emergence of the Islamic State, a resurgent Russia, and an increasingly assertive China, the U.S. military must be ready to carry out the response to any contingency. Cyber hacks, the unprecedented ways in which ISIS uses the Internet for radicalization, identifying violent extremists before they strike, and being prepared to mitigate and respond to global threats will require more than materiel readiness.Winning the unpredictable ne...
