Just like the Cloud, most people may not have heard of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, they will, and they continue to fuel the ever-expanding landscape of the devices and services, while not even realizing it. As this occurs, the Internet of Things (IoT) population of endpoints and data continues to rapidly grow accordingly. How does that impact Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA)? In this session, we will discuss:
Overview of IoT Capabilities as well as current and future trends
Mapping of trends/implementations...

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...

Because it can be so lucrative, malware has emerged as a favorite of attackers who have turned cybercrime into a big-money endeavor. Learn how threat actors are targeting organizations with frightening effectiveness by researching their human targets before launching a malware attack. Once the victim is chosen and the malware deployed, the threat actor remains connected, lurking on victims' computers until they can grab banking details, credit card data, and other sensitive information. This session shows how attackers know their...
