Industry Keynote Address: “Cyber Threat to Our Data and Lessons Learned”
Estonia is a small country in the Baltics however it is in the forefront of innovation and technology for many years dating back to 2002.  This session will describe how a nation state interfered with the 2007 elections in Estonia and the actions taken to strengthen the security and initiatives starting from this post cyberwar event.   The actions taken by Russia continue to this present time which means Estonia always has to remain vigilant.  Systems that create, store, and move data across the public and private world as well as the battlefield have increased dramatically with the adoption of Blockchain for Data Integrity and Veracity, Data Analytics, and Machine Learning.  New projects including the latest Machine Intelligence project such as KrattAI.   

Attendees will gain the important knowledge from the impact of a cyber-attack against Estonia, the changes in technology, and how enhancements in technology focused on the ability to reduce the risk to data and reduce the risk of a cyber-war.

The U.S. Army went to the drawing board and recently developed a new talent alignment process that was announced during October 2019.  The new guidance and changes that begins with officers, addresses recruiting and assignment of Army officers and will be based on a more “decentralized, regulated, market-style hiring system that aligns officers and eventually enlisted soldiers with jobs based on preferences.  This new approach includes, but is not limited to career coaching, merit based promotions, and Brevet promotions for critical skills.  This session will address the dynamic changes within the Army as well as how the talent workforce is being addressed. This session will explore how this new process will impact the Army Workforce and address an industry perspective.

Industry Keynote: "5G Update"
5G is much more than “just another G” with increased data throughput – it’s an entirely new software defined network architecture designed to complement Cloud Computing at the Edge as well as the Enterprise, in order to deliver data for both real time as well as near as non-real time applications.  This session will provide an overview of how 5G networks are being architected to support these new applications, including latency-sensitive applications such as Augmented Realty and Virtual Reality (AR/VR).
