Theater #2: Small Business Master Class: Big Picture Thoughts to Tactical Cyber Solutioning – Weaving a Small Business Fabric

Description

Small Businesses are often told they hold the keys to many of our most perplexing technical problems within the DoD, yet the path for them to engage in a meaningful manner isn’t obvious. Join us for an hour-long journey into examining a “big picture look” relative to Adversarial AI Attacks and the role small business can play in addressing the attacks; followed by a panel that dives into a real program specifically seeking small business engagement. We’ll use the US Army’s N-CODE initiative as a reference to discuss how and when small business can engage, how large system integrator organizations can be identified for mutually beneficial partnerships, and how the N-CODE example can be leveraged toward other DoD initiatives of interest to the small business community.

Key Discussion Points:

1. Adversarial AI Attacks:
   1. What are we protecting?
   2. How are we protecting it?
   3. How SHOULD we be protecting it?
   4. What is the role of Small Business?
2. N-CODE as an Example Opportunity:
   1. How is N-CODE aligned to SB?
   2. When is it too late to join?
   3. What is the value prop to SB?
   4. Where/how do Large Businesses fit?
   5. Role of Large Businesses when integrating new solutions into existing OEM-type platforms?
   6. What is the ACQ path for SBs in this situation?
