| Description: |
The AFCEA Washington DC Cybersecurity Technology
Summit is a gathering for executives from government,
military, and defense industries to discuss the
intensifying competition between world powers. This
year's Summit will cover a range of exciting topics,
including Artificial Intelligence (AI),
cybersecurity, cloud services, supply chain security,
and Zero Trust architectures to name a few. 2024 is
emerging as a pivotal year for the future of AI, as
governments, researchers, and enterprises seek to
establish how this evolutionary leap in technology
can be most practically integrated into our everyday
lives.
With cyber threats on the rise, adversaries are
targeting the US through influence operations, data
breaches, and attempts to infiltrate government
networks and weapon systems. Incidents such as the
SolarWinds cyberattack and the ransomware attack on
Colonial Pipeline negatively impact the country's
economic security and demonstrate potential threats
to national security.
The Department of Defense continues migrating
operations into cloud environments and diversifying
communications pathways to support tactical and
strategic operations around the globe. To combat
evolving sophisticated cyber threats and to enable
broader mission success in an era of great power
competition, our military and defense agencies will
need to shift from perimeter defenses to Zero-Trust
based security controls and technologies. The summit,
scheduled for October 24, 2024, aims to shape
strategies to fortify cybersecurity in an era of
geopolitical complexities. |
