    Why You Should Attend this Symposium

    The evolving domain of cyberspace provides a constant challenge to our national defense capabilities as well as the security of the homeland. DoD is devoting significant resources towards protecting its critical assets and networks, however vulnerabilities still exist. This symposium will address the plans, policies, and resources required to improve the Nation’s defense networks and other critical infrastructure systems. The event will also focus on the evolving role of USCYBERCOM and its Service Components to best defend the Nation's defense networks.

    The symposium will provide valuable information on efforts from the policy and operational communities on how the US Government plans to meet the threats from the cyber domain to our Nation’s defense capacity and national safety.

    Our team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the community from operational leaders, security analysts, key policy-makers, as well as solution providers from Industry and Academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
