Description
Modern warfare runs on data. From power projection and force mobility to weapons employment and sustainment, every element of U.S. military strength depends on secure, accessible, and rapidly recoverable data. Our installations, logistics systems, and global posture are wired—and our adversaries know it.
In this mission-critical fireside, join MajGen Armin Fleischmann, Commander CID Support Forces and DCOS Capabilities, CID Cmd, Bonn, and Dr. Ed Harris, Global Director of Information Security at Mauser Packaging, to sound the alarm: state-backed campaigns like China’s Volt Typhoon are already shaping the battlespace by targeting the digital backbone of American force. Backed by real-world insights from Rubrik’s To Catch a Thief podcast, this session pulls no punches on the operational risks we now face.
Air-gapped, immutable backups. Rapid, surgical recovery. Resilience by design. These aren’t technical preferences, they’re warfighting requirements. In a contested environment, the side that can recover fast and keep moving holds the initiative. This isn’t about IT, it’s about whether we can fight through first contact in the data domain.
