SD-Access (SDA): A Revolutionary New Way to Build and Manage Digital Ready Networks

ABSTRACT

SDA is a fundamental shift in how customers will build and manage networks: Faster, easier and with investment protection and improved business outcomes at the network edge. Cisco SDA turns your wired and wireless networks into a single fabric by decoupling network functions from hardware. This reduces the time it takes to deploy, secure and adapt network services and user access from months to minutes and enables you to easily customize the network for user groups as needed. This session will cover SDA and how it is enabled on Cisco’s flexible, programmable, digital-ready Catalyst Switches.

DNS For Good & Evil, How Adversaries Use Your Network Against You

SPEAKER

Chris Usserman, Principal Security Advisor

ABSTRACT

Not all threats are created equal, and no two networks are alike. But this doesn’t mean you can’t take a best-practices approach to plugging one of the most widely-used attack vectors: DNS.  Interactive discussions will include effective marrying of network and threat intelligence for more successful incident response events, examples of DNS-based threats, and how a one-size-fits-all approach to threat response isn’t effective.

TOPIC

Deploying a Holistic Data Protection Ecosystem to Protect Mission Critical Data from the Core to the Cloud to the Field.

SPEAKER

Vicki Huttar, VP of Sales

ABSTRACT

All current trend-lines lead to more data breaches. As agencies are investing security dollars to extend the life of the antiquated breach prevention strategy, adversaries are continuing to innovate and thrive.  Furthermore, the extension into the cloud and into the tactical field is greatly increasing the potential attack surface and likelihood of accidental data exposure or loss. These trends all point to a consistent theme—security needs to be attached to the data, so agencies can maintain control of the data from the core to the cloud to the field.

Trying to keep today’s adversaries out of the organization through breach prevention is a fool’s errand. Session attendees will learn how to create a holistic data protection ecosystem where data and cryptographic keys are secured and managed, and access and distribution are controlled. This session will discuss:

• Encryption strategies to protect data and rest and in motion from the core to the cloud to the field
• Importance of protecting and managing cryptographic keys
• Best practices for controlling access to data
• How to securely share mission critical information while ensuring the exchange of correct and authorized data with authorized recipients

TOPIC

Audio Visual (AV) Connection to DoD Networks

SPEAKER

Charlie Booth, VP of Government Sales
Harman Professional Solitons/a Samsung Company

ABSTRACT

In the past AV systems could be isolated from the enterprise network, but increasingly the need
for operational efficiency requires the modern AV application to be attached to the enterprise
network. As AV systems are being migrated onto Government data networks, there are
statutory requirements for the AV system to maintain a security posture in alignment with
security policy.

AV systems often carry mission critical information. Unauthorized access to the AV system
could impact the any of three principal goals of security, confidentiality, integrity or availability,
but the security practices and policies developed for traditional IT may not provide sufficient
security for this application.

In this talk Mr. Booth looks at the practice of accrediting AV systems for connection to DoD networks and makes recommendations on critical security areas often overlooked during the
RMF process.

Next Generation HBSS/ESS next steps and Threat Intelligence leveraging Adaptive Cyber Threat Defense

SPEAKER

Mario Pena
DoD Asia Pacific Region Manager
McAfee, LLC.

ABSTRACT

HBSS update and it’s migration into Next Generation ESS. In today’s environments, cybersecurity demands a multi-pronged approach.  We have multiple devices that have created a new perimeter and must be part of the most sophisticated cyber security architecture possible. If your security devices could talk to other security technologies and tell you in plain language what they are seeing and doing, then you’d have an intelligent and actionable security that works for you. We will be discussing the new capabilities and updates to the HBSS program.

The McAfee Adaptive Cyber Threat Defense (ACTD) architecture analyzes content from your enterprise – enabling integration with HBSS/ESS along with third party security solutions – helping make decisions based on threat intelligence, file reputation, rules, reputation thresholds, and third party information from your entire cyber security environment. See how we’re helping move our military from intelligent cyber security to an interconnected cyber architecture that not only thinks but reacts according with the needs of the mission.

TOPIC

How to utilize IoT and Artificial Intelligence to protect electrical assets?

SPEAKER

Chris Fan

ABSTRACT

The prevention of electrical failure is equally important to the prevention network failure. To protect the assets, shifting from Time Based Maintenance (TBM) to Condition Based Monitoring (CBM), which has been widely adopted in the past decade, could effectively cut the labor cost and improve work safety.

However, the monitoring of one or two simple index requires engineers with extensive field experience for data interpretation. However, in aid with the new smart sensor of advanced IoT (Internet of Things) monitoring system, the results of the risk assessment could be more precisely identified via analyzing the relationship between different indexes.

To further enhance the experience, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an ideal method that can achieve labor minimization while increasing accuracy. In this presentation, I will demonstrate how the latest “big thing” can be merged with the conventional method.
