As cyber missions evolve and intensify, the right Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool is a necessary precondition for success, enabling army networks and network defenders to correlate established metrics with real-time activity data. Whether the immediate priority is defense or offense, an effective response to the modern landscape demands not only faster operational decisions, but the right decisions to counter an emerging threat or take advantage of a strategic opportunity—without requiring high-level data science skills to undertake a mission.
To defend against external threats, an AI system must offer increased speed and more effective response by enabling autonomous active cyber operations. That...

Like their counterparts in physical warfighting domains, cyber operators need camouflage when they conduct their missions. This session will explore how a range of emerging technologies work together to disguise operators and eliminate cyber attack surfaces from the view of adversaries. Such techniques are already in use by the DoD, the Intelligence Community, and commercial organizations to shield their cyber protection teams and to carry out cyber threat investigations, threat hunting operations, and internet-based research. Attendees will learn how these capabilities privatize the public internet using high levels of network obfuscation, multiple layers of encryption, and dynamic IP routing, and...

Data Services are made reliable and robust when data is treated as a system. Leveraging capability inherent in newer protocols for data management and networking, large scale architectures can be made data-centric. Dis-aggregation of data and service makes data systems portable across hybrid, multi-cloud environments, accelerates standardization, simplifies infrastructure and empowers distributed data discovery. Data Services delivered with a system methodology drives operational simplicity, enablement and delivery of a data management platform “as a Service” tailored to mission need....

In the emergent era of great power competition, our nation's adversaries seek to achieve their strategic aims, short of traditional conflict, by the use of a stand-off approach across the warfighting domains. Our adversaries will leverage this “grey zone” conflict across Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Environment, and Time (PMESII-PT) in an attempt to defeat U.S. power. The importance of cross-functional integrated cyber, electronic warfare and signals intelligence has been recognized for the last decade not only the United States but across our near-peer competitors and potential adversaries. As the US Army builds force structure, doctrine, and material...

The Warfighter demand for LPI/LPD/Anti-Jam (AJ) communications against increasingly sophisticated adversaries mimics the historical contest between armor and artillery. The traditional communications approach to counter the threat uses expensive, hard-to-use, nuclear-hardened communications systems or direct-sequence waveforms to protect low capacity data links by spending large amounts of bandwidth. Viasat's approach is to arm our warfighters with affordable, resilient, high-capacity, easy to use, rapid deploy SATCOM systems that have inherent LPI/LPD/AJ protection. This requires our adversaries to bring their most exquisite and expensive systems to the field, to invest considerable resources, and yet fail against our flexible, affordable systems. Our approach...

Over the past 12 years, Cisco has published over 50 academic papers on the topic of cybersecurity analytics and a multitude of open source. We have done this because we believe that this area of study must remain transparent and open. Having said that, getting a good grade on your paper and being effective on the battlefield of the Internet is very different. Taking concepts from academia research and then applying it in the world, at scale, and with real nation state threat actors in play is something we think we have done well. Sharing this experience is important because...

Recent innovations in radar and EW technologies, adversary capabilities, and techniques drive ECM systems towards converged and flexible systems, necessitating multifunction hardware capable of fielding a dynamic array of solutions—solutions which even evolve and react to changing mission and technique requirements through machine learning. The element level digital phased array is uniquely suited for this role, and is rapidly being matured to bring this capability to the warfighter. BAE Systems is developing a next generation ECM system based on its software defined digital array architecture. OASIS is an RF countermeasure-focused, multifunction RF system for protection of military rotorcraft and UAS....

In order to provide EW support and full spectrum cyber activities in support of Multi Domain Operations at the Operational and Tactical levels, the United States Army will require advanced early warning capabilities, new tools to provide precision targeting and collection from increased stand off ranges, and EW/Cyber tools to defeat A2/AD efforts launched by adversaries. EW/Cyber tools must be in place during the competition phase to provide enduring persistent access to adversary military communications and ISR infrastructure as well as insight to the "neutral" networks and infrastructure utilized by both adversary and US/Allied forces in foreign areas around the...
