In 2017, the Deputy Secretary of Defense declared the intent to increase the speed of technological development and promote a culture of risk-taking and adaptation within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Adoption of commercial cloud computing is a key enabler of this innovation. Real world use cases such as humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HA/DR), multinational incident response, and episodic coalition events highlight how elastic, on-demand compute and storage resources can transform operations in a multipartner operational environment.

There exists a major loophole at the network endpoint from the wall to the desktop that cybersecurity does not address. Physical security of network and terminal hardware and its user interface has been ignored in policy and practice enabling catastrophic breaches from insider threats, most notably Manning and Snowden.
This session focuses on the need for convergence between physical security and cybersecurity to thwart emerging insider threats. It reviews the background of information technology, existing policies, or lack thereof, and...
