      Adversaries have demonstrated an increased capability to penetrate and degrade the operational technology (OT) and control systems of our critical infrastructure, impacting mission readiness. Today’s military installations operate in an expanded and connected battlespace that exponentially increases cyber threats and vulnerabilities in OT security. Weapons systems are also OT, and must maintain combat effectiveness in dynamic, physical, kinetic environments, while relying on computer logic to operate reliably and safely for warfighters. This training seminar will (1) review the current DoD OT cybersecurity protocols and trends, (2) closely examine today’s threat landscape, and (3) provide Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) for... ...read more...

            This interactive, hands-on workshop is designed to familiarize participants at various skills levels with how to investigate incidents using Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), and Splunk SOAR (formerly known as Phantom). You will work in Splunk ES to identify security issues, open and conduct investigations, and then pivot to Splunk SOAR to orchestrate actions based on what is uncovered. The workshop leverages the popular Boss of the SOC (botsv3) dataset and is laid out in an interactive format. Users will leave with a better understanding of how Splunk Enterprise Security, and Splunk SOAR can be used within security operations to quickly... ...read more...

                          Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and the rest of the DoD rules for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) provide a stout framework for combating cyber threats.  The question is at what cost and what will they actually accomplish? DoD admits that just the CMMC assessment and certification requirements impose recurring contractor investments from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars depending on contractor size.  In addition, there is no meaningful limit to what data can be covered, how it will be managed or how the requirements can be tailored.  The cost problem is further amplified with mandatory flow downs and broad-based... ...read more...

                            AI is rapidly transforming mental health care, with veterans at the forefront. Since the early days of AI in psychology(1990s), researchers have explored its potential to support traditional therapies. This session will delve into AI use for veterans' mental health, examining both benefits and risks. We'll explore the timeline, from early AI chatbots offering basic support (1990s-2010s) to today's sophisticated models that analyze data to identify mental health issues like depression and PTSD. These models can flag veterans who need intervention before symptoms worsen. The session will then discuss exciting possibilities, such as 24/7 access to self-management tools and anonymous support... ...read more...

For example, military operations at edge often require unique situational data to be shared with coalition partners and must utilize core-level security protocols like zero trust to ensure data is only shared on a need-to-know basis. However, many challenges often stand in the way of extending core-level security to the edge. Harsh environments; bandwidth-limited and disconnected sites; overrun or hostile scenarios; and constraints related to size, weight, and power have made it difficult to employ... ...read more...

That is, comments are linked and updated so as to remain internally consistent and also consistent with the code. By flagging "out of date" comments, CoDAT alerts the developer to maintain up-to-date documentation.  We use a large language model to check the semantic consistency between a fragment of code and the comments that describe it.

However, traditional, labor-intensive approaches limit agility and scalability. We explore how next-generation technologies can revolutionize the Army's network operations by significantly reducing personnel needs. We propose leveraging automation across key network functions: Installation and Maintenance: Automating device setup and configuration minimizes manual effort for installation teams. Integration with advanced request and dispatch systems streamlines maintenance activities, reducing reliance on manual processes. Real-Time Network Visibility and Proactive Management: Real-time data analysis can predict and prevent network issues, minimizing reactive troubleshooting and personnel workload.

Implementing risk management is a key to good decision-making and is essential for strong cybersecurity. Due to dependence on information technology, leaders in most fields need to understand cybersecurity vulnerabilities and mitigation options. Join our panel of ROTC cadets as they share their opinions on application of theoretical lessons in cybersecurity to risk management challenges and opportunities they might face in the military. Questions for the panelists will include: What lessons, either academic or experiential, have been most helpful in forming your concept of cybersecurity risk management? What do you think is the nation’s greatest cybersecurity threat? Which concepts do you... ...read more...

Our nation's national security leaders have warned that recent actions by Nation-states are intended to pre-stage sabotage attacks on U.S. national infrastructure. These infiltrations compromise not only sensitive information but also the critical systems and technologies on which our defense infrastructure relies. With devices and control systems unassumingly installed in military facilities, administrative offices, and even officials' personal devices, the potential for catastrophic breaches looms large.

Attendees will learn the strategic objectives that will enable the Department of Defense (DoD or the Department) to expand and strengthen its relationship with small businesses and better leverage their capabilities to help solve the Department’s and... ...read more...

What are organizations doing right now to align your learning needs to recent upskilling initiatives, including DoD 8140. In this part of the session, we will outline practical steps and provide case studies for organizations that have created upskilling pathways using resources that are available now. In this session, we will show you how to use the 8140 Marketplace, map your educational needs to the DCWF job roles, and use additional resources that are available to you....

This includes the identification of patterns, an ability to predict outcomes, and the optimization of resource allocation. Edge devices can operate independently, maintaining functionality even when network connectivity is disrupted, ensuring continuous data processing. Through the use of Army developed ML decision models, edge devices can prioritize and send critical data when an opportunity arises, ensuring commanders receive the most pertinent information.
