The Army Unified Network Plan (AUNP) addresses Army information technology and the network in a comprehensive approach to enable Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). The AUNP establishes five lines of effort (LOE), number three specifically being Security and Survivability—Commander’s Freedom of Action in Cyberspace. To support LOE 3, it was imperative to reform and operationalize cybersecurity processes and the way the Army manages risk. Operationalizing cybersecurity is being implemented through the Army’s Risk Management Framework (RMF) 2.0.
Presenters will explain how RMF 2.0 shifts from a...

The U.S. Army’s Unified Network Plan sets the course for a Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) capable force—in essence linking its enterprise and tactical tools, systems, applications and networks. The plan will enable Army formations, as part of the joint force, to operate in highly contested, congested operational environments with speed and global range to achieve decision dominance and maintain overmatch. The plan shapes, synchronizes, integrates and governs Unified Network modernization efforts and aligns the personnel, organizational structure and capabilities required to enable MDO at all echelons.

Today it's no longer sufficient to have a good cybersecurity program in place. You need to adapt to the new norm of today's threat landscape. Organizations must assume that they will be breached and impacted by cybers attacks, but they need to support their mission and business continuity. Cyber resilience is a shift to enable organizations to put "shock absorbers" in place to withstand this volatility. In this session, Mr. Wisseman will share how cybersecurity needs to evolve in organizations so that they be better equipped to "pivot" at scale and adapt to adverse cyber events such as hacking, ransomware,...

Zero trust is about knowing who is doing what within your network and ensuring that in the event of anomalous activity, you can control and limit threats to the network. Applying the granularity of Privileged Access Management (PAM) to achieve zero trust objectives ensures all access is appropriate, managed, and documented, regardless of how the perimeter has been redefined. To stay agile, agencies must leverage Zero Trust principals to never trust, always verify, and only allow access when contextual parameters are met. Leveraging PAM and robust identity security strategies enables agencies to move from a network-based approach to a data...

In great power competition, the need to see across further distances, shorten the sensor to shooter chain and enhance commander decision making is critical to multi-domain options. At Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, Project Management Offices are delivering advanced deep sensing and data analytics capabilities to Soldiers every day. This back-to-back session will open with senior program executive office leadership offering views on how the current environment, acquisition trends and soldier feedback is dynamically changing how we deliver capabilities. Our second session is a panel, made up of senior experts from the acquisition and requirements communities, who...

The Army needs a reliable, scalable data transport mechanism to deliver sensor data from origination through all points of consumption; at the edge, on-premise, and in the cloud in a simple, secure, universal, and scalable way. The data transport architecture should provide guaranteed delivery, even in contested or denied, disrupted, intermittent or limited bandwidth (DDIL) environments. These requirements can be addressed by a Universal Data Distribution (UDD) architecture.
UDD provides a wide range of extensible capabilities ranging from real-time data ingestion, edge processing, transformation, and routing through to descriptive, prescriptive, and predictive analytics. UDD provides the capability to connect to any...

Developing a comprehensive situational awareness capability requires the ability to connect sensor data from multiple domains across the enterprise. In DoD, this effort is complicated by decentralized data sources, tactical networks experiencing intermittent comms and of course multi domain networks at various classification levels. While traditional approaches to situational awareness typically involve a data lake approach which requires selective forwarding of data to centralized locations, valuable insights could be lost because data is typically restricted by classification domain and not all the data is accessible. WWT will show a new approach for situational awareness and data analytics that can provide...

No situations are risk free!
Implementing risk management is a key to good decision-making and is essential for strong cybersecurity.
For wise policy, engineering, and operations, leaders must understand vulnerabilities and mitigation options. Join senior leaders in cybersecurity to learn about risk management challenges and opportunities they have faced, including security, privacy, and cyber supply chain risk management activities. Discussion will center on the NIST Risk Management Framework, which can be applied to all types of system or technology, including the Internet of Things and control systems, and within all organizations, regardless of size or sector.
Topics will include:
How can we better understand risk management in cybersecurity and in daily life?

The Army has a requirement to design, operate and maintain a unified network to counter emerging threats, enable new forms of maneuver and allow the commander to fully leverage capabilities across echelons to execute Multi-Domain Operations. As maneuver formations become cloud enabled, the ability to ensure reliability of communications while leveraging common data hosted both on premises at the unit and off premises in a cloud environment, with no loss of continuity, is essential. Essential elements of the Unified Network include: To optimize the unified network strategy, The Army must approach domains of operating and securing the network as any...

To combat security threats in the operational environment, cyber operations teams and cyber protection teams rely on a wide variety of security solutions to protect networks from cyber-attacks and traffic anomalies. These tools require a variety of data sources including logs, but an ongoing critical need is the packet data itself. To enable access of critical packet data to a central platform, the program will need to deploy an intelligent high availability security visibility architecture that supports both inline and out-of-band packet processing across a distributed infrastructure. Keysight recommends implementing the following best practices to create maximum data capture, data...

Organization’s data needs are not slowing down. In fact, 71% of organizations today feel that their data is growing at a concerning rate. Federal organizations are facing the challenge of defending enterprises at the multi-million endpoint scale and traditional approaches to security fall apart at the size of Government. This requires new methods for collecting and detecting threats at the petabyte to exabyte scale. Organizations, such as the Army, are not immune to this challenge, but rather more susceptible as the needs of the networks must always match the needs of the Warfighter. Multi-cloud environments, microservices, and observability, logging, and...
