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:

Today’s supply chains are largely disconnected, often have poor visibility into the location and status of raw materials, parts or even finished goods, and lack a secure, reliable way to share this information across participants. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain offer opportunities to address these issues, enabling enterprises to better forecast demand, respond to supply chain incidents and provide enhanced customer care. Designing and implementing IoT and Blockchain solutions can be a challenge for many organizations who may lack the time, expertise,...

Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) emphasize the shared responsibility model for securing data in the cloud and meeting compliance requirements for information protection. CSPs own the responsibility to secure the infrastructure that runs its cloud services. Data owners are responsible for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data in the cloud. Making sure that this data is safe from unauthorized access requires organizations to consider not only the physical and logical security of the CSP but also who...

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.

The topic is specific to an ongoing study that examines the integration of surveillance activities, electronic jamming, and cyberspace attacks in a single tactical vehicle for the Army. The Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) is progressing rapidly as an integrated signals intelligence (SIGINT)/electronic warfare (EW)/cyberspace operations (CO) requirement. The Demonstration, Experimentation, and Prototype (DE&P) informs Army requirement development across formations, materiel, and training by integrating and layering capabilities and systems. Our future systems need to be approached from a layered perspective: protection of the soldier...

Network infrastructure (L0-L3) equipment has evolved from simple, fixed function devices to those that support dynamic services across multiple layers of the network with full programmability. Next generation network capabilities are going to be enabled by analytics and software that takes advantage of programmable nature of the underlying network. In this session, we will discuss how we can use the network itself as a sensor and apply analytics to improve both the security posture and availability of the network. Specifically...
