Resiliency is key to assuring DOD Priorities and mission success, but also an overall strategy to deter and deescalate adversaries. ‘Cyber Resiliency’ vice ‘Resiliency’. This represents the larger risk we face in the domain of ‘doing cyber for cyber’s sake’ - that cyber exists to enhance, accelerate, and enable operations across the traditional warfighting domains. Measuring success must look at those ends and not solely measures like scorecards or compliance with patching directives....

Generative AI, like machine learning and other AI models, depend on untampered data to ensure outcomes meet the needs of the mission. Risk further exists for outcome manipulation with improper access to models and training data pools.   To assure the success of the generative AI mission, identity security, particularly assurance of zero standing privilege, is crucial to the mission.

The impact is more than just replacing the existing solution, it's also updating all upstream and downstream integration points, such as custom detection content or log parsers. This leads potentially gaps in coverage due to limitations in the tooling deployed and the tools desired. Not to mention, those golden shackles really hurt the wallet, or security budget. We'll cover the principles, practices, patterns, and other opportunities that help DISA unshackle the golden handcuffs to get the full... ...read more...

The speaker will explore:   • Countering malicious use of AI systems by actors with ill intentions, such as criminals, terrorists, or hostile states. • Adversarial attacks on AI, such as attempts to fool or manipulate AI systems by exploiting their vulnerabilities or limitations. • Protection of the massive amounts of... ...read more...

This abstract explores how harnessing data analytics, including Generative AI, can accelerate the OODA loop and enable organizations to align, adapt, and accelerate mission outcomes against adversaries. By integrating advanced data analytics techniques such as machine learning, predictive modeling, and real-time data processing, organizations can enhance their situational awareness, rapidly assess threats, and make informed decisions in dynamic environments.

Why is it that the way capital planning and funding are managed looks the same as it did decades ago? In many ways, teams are still working with a traditional capital planning and investment control model that emerged when client/server computing was all the rage. These legacy approaches are inefficient and wasteful and are fundamentally misaligned with the modern technologies and realities of today’s DoD agencies.

The powerful symbiosis between the two can transform service operations across government agencies.    This session will focus on a sweet spot for the business impact of Gen AI, namely, citizen service.

This is a perfect for Cybersecurity applications which can generate an absolute deluge of data. Using this massive data resource learning models can create internal representations in lieu of hard labels used in traditional machine leanring. The only limitation is traditional GenAI approaches require billions of parmeters and KiloWatts of power to provide insight into cyberdata. Our approach at DCI solutions seeks to... ...read more...

Testing stands as the cornerstone for independently verifying a system's adherence to approved technical, operational, and security criteria. This rigorous assessment is the bedrock upon which acquisition decision makers rely at critical junctures and deployment phases. The essence of testing lies in ensuring that our warfighters are equipped with capabilities that not only meet but exceed expectations in effectiveness, suitability, and survivability for their intended missions.
