Past event: Cyber Defence and Networking Security (CDANS) Conference

Securing the distributed network

The role of the cyber defender has changed substantially in recent years. As the developed world becomes increasingly connected through cyber channels, new vulnerabilities are uncovered and exploited at previously unseen rates. With the threat apparent, cyber operators from military and government are now faced by a new question: Who, not what, will be targeted by hostile cyber operators?

CDANS 2019 has been designed to focus on this key question, developing a response to defending the most vulnerable component of cyber operations: the human operator. Examining new weaknesses uncovered by the rapid growth of social media, the connected world and new offensive capabilities, join leading decision makers from the UK MoD and government alongisde leading NATO and US Cyber Commanders at CDANS 2019 to bring the conversation back to the key aspect of any defensive operation: Protecting People and Platforms.

4 Reasons to attend CDANS 2019:

  • Safeguard the human operator from hostile cyber influencers by building technical approaches to combating influence
  • Effectively manage and monitor social media sources to minimise cyber influencers to personnel
  • Align your cyber processes to the UK cyber protection model to maintain cyber security throughout the procurement cycle
  • Develop proven methods to training and recruitment to ensure retention of experienced cyber operators within your organisation

"The CDANS event was valuable as I was able to meet several key personnel that face the very same problems as I do, their experience is a great reach back. The topics were all interesting and valued the discussions"
Branch Chief, DoD

"As threats to the cyber landscape increase in number - The Spanish Ministry of Defence sees CDANS as a unique opportunity to discover the key challenges and their solutions from other regions on a day-to-day basis."
Lieutenant Colonel Angel Gomez de Agreda, Office of the Secretary General for Defence Policy, Spanish Ministry of Defence
