TechNet Cyber will be a huge conference again this year. I’m looking forward to being there to support our DoD and Industry partners! Please stop by our booth for a brief conversation with our team to learn how and why Pure Storage’s approach is different than all other contemporary alternatives and should be at the foundation of DoD weapon systems to support the American warfighter’s data dominance!

Locked Shields 2024, the world’s biggest #livefire #cyberdefence exercise, is fast approaching! This year, with participation from over 40 nations, Locked Shields is larger than ever. While the specific challenges remain confidential, they are carefully crafted to mirror and respond to real-world #cybersecurity threats and incidents. LtC Urmet Tomp, the Exercise Director, captures the essence of what Locked Shields stands for:"This exercise is a demonstration of the power of international cooperation, transcending borders and uniting a diverse community of experts from the public and private sectors and academia. We are grateful for the dedication and expertise of our allies and all our partners, which are crucial in building a resilient global cyber defence." As we gear up for #LockedShields2024, let’s reflect on last year's achievements and the lessons learned. Check out this quick recap of the previous exercise, setting the stage for the challenges ahead. What new strategies will emerge from this year's challenges? Stay tuned to discover how global experts are advancing the field of cyber defence!

The global cyber warfare market is estimated at US$65.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17.7% during the forecast period 2024-2034. Access our new #Defence report by downloading it here: https://ow.ly/L5cU50SIRjb

We concur that the whole purpose of purple teaming is to build stronger defensive capabilities, making it look more like a blue team. though, the concept of emulating how these cyber attacks are achieved is what makes it offensive as well. A line from "The fifth domain" says: the scenario between adversaries is the balance between offence and defence. I have come to an understanding that purple teaming is that "scenario" which makes it more than just a team, a capability to generate, quantifying and qualifying the whole concept of Threat Informed Defense. I would like to recommend that the book *The Fifth Domain* for purple teamers out there and any other security professionals even in military or government organisations.

Defence Cyber Marvel 3 has kicked off on CR14's Multiverse of Cyber Ranges and is Western Europe's biggest Army-led cyber exercise. This year, DCM3 brings together a community of diverse cyber teams across Defence, Government and international allies and partners for the British Army. The British Army is really pushing the boundaries with new tech and skills in cyber safety. Keeping our digital spaces safe is super important in a world that's getting more connected by the day. For that, #DCM3 helps the military prepare for future challenges and stay one step ahead in protecting us from cyber dangers. Being a part of Defence Cyber Marvel 3 for the second year in a row is a big deal for us. It shows how much we're committed to helping with #cyberdefense and highlights the capabilities of our #cyberrangers and the importance of our #CyberRange. Here's to a successful and eye-opening exercise! #DefenceCyberMarvel3

U.S. Cyber Command is taking a major step towards a unified cyber warfighting platform in 2024. After years of relying on separate programs, they're integrating tools like #UnifiedPlatform & #JCAP, creating a cohesive system for joint cyber missions. But it's not just about merging platforms. They're also streamlining development and security, consolidating DevSecOps environments for faster, more secure updates.
