The value of achieving Continuous ATO (cATO) is well known at this point. What is less well known, however, are implementation details. Specifically, what categories of tools make it effective. Join us as we discuss the key concepts and components of a cATO architecture and walk through a use case of how the implementation works.

The widespread use of mission critical, data-intensive services have accelerated more now than ever, and the desire for cloud-ready network infrastructure to support modern battlespace requirements is growing. Seamless connectivity demands higher bandwidth capacity and lower latency, thus network operators are turning to the adoption of 400G optical technologies as part of their network modernization strategy. 400G network upgrades provide the...

The Internet Protocol (IP) has widely adopted, yet the components of its basic underlying parts and functions are often still mysterious, especially for audio and video transport. Learn the basics of network infrastructures and become familiar with key terms as you build your foundation of knowledge. Discover the under-the-hood requirements for building scalable, flexible, and secure AV networks. Gather IP Network foundational knowledge. Learn...

Organizations are creating data at breakneck speeds - and their need to better understand, easily share, and regulate security access to that data is expanding even faster. Providing authorized, ubiquitous, and reliable access to proprietary, personal, and confidential data on a real-time, 24x7, and global basis is daunting - and doing it at scale while ensuring it can't be altered, destroyed, or ransomed is non-trivial. Doing this across mult...

To protect the health and safety of attendees, this event has been rescheduled due to COVID-19 concerns. New Dates: 12/1-12/3/2020 The cyberspace battlefield has changed. No longer an arena where adversaries launch a single distributed denial of service attack, lob a virus or infiltrate a network, it is now a state of persistent barrages and simultaneous campaigns. Attacks against high-value targets still occur, but they are accompanied by a t...

Recent events have taught us that mission critical infrastructure stability is more important than ever as applications and continuity is only as reliable as the underlying infrastructure. It keeps organizations running, citizens connected, and stakeholders engaged. In uncertain times, you simply cannot afford to have your critical systems go down or lose access to data. The costs of system downtime are not only measured financially, but also...

A true least-privilege security model requires users, processes, applications, and systems to have just enough rights and access—and for no longer than required—to perform a necessary action or task. While organizations are increasingly effective at applying the “just enough” piece using privileged access management (PAM) solutions, they have largely neglected the time-limited and persistent risk part of the equation....

The proliferation of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) information is radically changing the landscape of the defense and intelligence community. Command centers’ designers and operators current focus is determining how to use available ISR information sources to assess situations immediately and better support the warfighter. A next-generation command and control infrastructure solution simplifies multi-classification...

The Symposium has been rescheduled for February 6, 2019. That vital systems and processes sustaining critical urban infrastructures in the US are at great risk of repeated cyber attacks is undeniable. There is little debate that national level cyber security strategies must make this risk a top priority. Fortunately, innovative work is already underway and instructive findings are available for review and decision-making. The City of Houston,...
