CXO Tech Forum: Next-Generation National Security Recap
Join us July 17 for candid conversations on how the U.S. government can best prepare for a new era in national security and the key role emerging technologies play in bolstering U.S. security.
What does next-gen warfare look like? And how can today’s national security officials safeguard the homeland while keeping an eye toward the threats coming next?
We’ll discuss artificial intelligence, automation, security, defense vs. offensive cyber capabilities and how to best protect critical infrastructure with leaders from the Defense Department, Homeland Security Department, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, FBI, CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, U.S. Cyber Command, Justice Department, and more!

Panel: When Pentagon Meets Silicon Valley
"It's when you believe in the ingenuity of the soldiers, things happen."
It was simply through trial and error the U.S. Army Cyber Command discovered what worked in spurring innovation — and what didn’t.

However, when subordinate levels were allowed to develop innovation programs on their own, the effort was successful, says Lt. Col. Chris Cline, director of strategic plans in the U.S. Army.
Panel: Pentagon Is All About Risky Business
"We need to recognize, especially in cyber, that we accept risk every day."
One of Defense Department’s top senior IT officials laid out the Pentagon’s cybersecurity priorities and one theme going forward was risk management. In the next few weeks, DOD is going to publish its cyber strategy, followed by the cybersecurity strategy, both of which support the overall National Defense Strategy, and Michelli called on industry to look at those key documents to help DOD move forward in the digital realm. They “very much describe what we need to do, what we’re trying to do,” Michelli says.
Man vs. Machine: How Agencies Leverage AI
