CyberScape Summit
We brought together the federal and industry cyber community for a full day in-person event tackling evolving cyber priorities. IT leaders discussed how movements in zero trust, edge computing, identity management and more are impacting agency implementation strategies to modernize IT.
Cybersecurity is integrated in every aspect of the military services’ operations, making information superiority a chief goal of the Defense Department. As cybersecurity moves from the offices to the battlefield and beyond, hear from the Department of the Navy’s CIO about the challenges of securing the tactical edge, the cyber workforce of the future and how collaboration fits into her office’s cyber plans.
