President Biden's Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity sets aggressive but achievable goals to modernize federal cybersecurity and protect government networks. Nation-state adversaries and cyber criminals have stepped up sophisticated cyber campaigns on public sector and private networks. As a result, the federal government needs CIOs and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) from every agency to help in creating governmentwide cybersecurity guidelines, according to Federal CISO Chris DeRusha. As part of the EO, agencies must advance toward Zero Trust security and accelerate movement toward secure cloud services, enhance software supply chain security, and improve detection of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and incidents in federal networks. The EO also calls for increased sharing of threat information between the government and the private sector.This is a monumental but necessary task, even more so in the wake of cyber incidents that have led to theft of sensitive information and disruption of government and critical infrastructure operations. During this webinar, leading government CIOs and CISOs will describe how agencies are applying executive order guidance to build more cyber resilient information systems and networks and using technologies such as endpoint detection and protection (EDR) to gain more visibility into what s going on within their networks and beyond. Furthermore, experts will discuss how the government can harness the power of agency data for threat and vulnerability analysis and proactive threat hunting via the Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency s (CISA) Continuous Diagnostic and Mitigation Program (CDM). Join AFCEA Bethesda on September 8 to hear government cybersecurity leaders and experts discuss how agencies can keep pace with today s increasingly dynamic and sophisticated cyber threat environment by taking decisive steps to modernize their cybersecurity workforce, processes, and technologies.

This event is part of the Emerging Leaders social schedule held on the second Wednesday of every month, where the Emerging Leaders host a happy hour to network and discuss training programs, upcoming activities, and ideas for new initiatives. You do not have to be an Emerging Leader to come, but we ask you to bring one if you do. Help the chapter grow and we can offer more events! To join, contact <a href="mailto:el@centralmd.afceachapters.org">el@centralmd.afceachapters.org</a>.

This webinar will provide a review of the implications of the European Defence Fund (EDF), Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), and the pending U.K. procurement and industrial cooperation policy changes on intra-European cooperation and external market access.

Land Digitisation Programme (THEIA) and possibly include some aspects of Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA)

Multi Domain Integration presents new opportunities for the Army to maximise its contribution to Defence and to mission success. The Integrated Review has sought to balance investment and structural adjustment to evolve an Asymmetric Army for the Digital Age, one more able to adopt new technologies and concepts and apply military effect virtually, cognitively as well as physically. The Army s Land Cyber Programme is presented a series of opportunities in the next 5-10 years; the modernisation of electronic warfare and electronic counter measures together with the cyber operations, and their integration, is a key lever to Protect, Understand and to Deliver Effects across the cyber and electromagnetic domain both in collaboration with and complementary to other Defence capabilities. Colonel Andy Percival will outline the approach of Land Cyber and the challenges it faces to deliver an ambitious programme. For a preview of the Programme please see the animation on the .gov website.

Wie organisiert der Staat zukünftig erfolgreich die Digitalisierung?

Learn how leaders at NavalX, AFWERX, ONR and industry are modernizing both process and technology at scale within the DOD and how your organization can benefit from their many successes.

Young AFCEA Washington, DC is proud to host Tech Talk:DevSecOps DevSecOps short for development, security, and operations automates the integration of security at every phase of the software development lifecycle, from initial design through integration, testing, deployment, and software delivery. The DoD is focused on developing an approach for all mission partners that monitors and provides compliance enforcement of containerized applications which cover all the DevSecOps pillars (Develop, Build, Test, Release & Deploy, and Runtime) for a secure posture with the focus being on automation and integration going forward.

Discussions will revolve around challenges experienced starting in grade school through the college years and into entry in the workforce, and potential solutions will be discussed. This interactive event culminates with a panel of senior career women sharing their personal journeys. Content will be invaluable for women in their early- to mid-career and for both women and men interested in discovering why more women are not embarking on and staying in a STEM career.
