Keys to Fighting and Winning a Cyber War (* CEU Eligible; see below)
VIDEO
|
| |
The US has grown accustomed to fighting wars on an ‘unlevel playing field’. We demand air supremacy and naval dominance before we will deploy the best trained and equipped soldiers and Marines to fight. In the Cyber Domain, the US has none of those same advantages. The size, scale, and sophistication of our weapons actually create a larger attack surface for the enemy. Thus, our nation is faced with the daunting challenge of how to prepare to fight and win a cyber war. Listen to these experts discuss how best to train and deploy our forces in the wake of Stuxnet and some of the latest threats.

* New this Year at the Homeland Security Conference!
Maintain Your DoD 8570.01-M Credentials While Advancing Your Cyber Security Career
Several Homeland Security Conference sessions will help attendees sustain DoD 8570.01-M mandated certifications. Over the past several years, federal agencies have collectively agreed that the ever-changing threats associated with cyber security create the need for a continuous learning process to reduce risk to our national security. In response, industry certification bodies adopted a continuous education model to address these issues. AFCEA has partnered with Cypherpath, a cyber security training and education company, to launch a new Continuing Education Unit (CEU) program to train, manage and report relevant critical knowledge and skills-related activities required to meet DoD 8570.01-M requirements. Individuals must enroll in the CE Program, attend qualified sessions, obtain and submit validated documentation in order to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Homeland Security Conference attendees may receive CEUs for sessions designated (by a *) to support CE requirements for sustaining DoD 8570.01-M certifications. Please stop by the AFCEA booth (#300) to obtain a flyer with answers to frequently asked questions about CEUs. |
