Defense

From the Global War on Terrorism to rebalancing in the Asia-Pacific region to the exponentially growing challenges of cyber defense and deterrence worldwide, the responsibilities of defense organizations are monumental and not always aligned. Solutions require a clear understanding of needs and issues, and ultimately, on developing innovative and affordable products, services and strategies. Success is only possible through collaboration and information sharing among industry, defense departments and governments across the globe.

AFCEA's defense programs are uniquely structured to meet these needs through networking opportunities that include continuing education, thought leadership, conferences, scholarships, product and service expositions, community service, committee involvement, chapter engagement and leadership opportunities.

National Preparedness and Infrastructure Protection Symposium
02/06/2019 - 02/06/2019
Doubletree by Hilton Washington DC - Crystal City, Arlington, VA

That vital systems and processes sustaining critical urban infrastructures in the U.S. are at great risk of repeated cyber attacks is undeniable. There is little debate that national-level cybersecurity strategies must make this risk a top priority. Critical infrastructure protection takes center stage at this new AFCEA event, which will connect national and state policy makers, industry and government leaders, supporting agencies and principal players in a vital discussion of urban resilience in the face of both physical and cyber threats.

WEST Conference and Exhibition
