Defending U.S. Critical Infrastructure and Collaboration with our Global Partners I love it when the words on a page come to life. Today’s collaboration with the United States Department of Defense on the topic of critical infrastructure defense and how up increase warfighter capabilities to deliver effects was nothing short of amazing. While there is still a substantial level of effort in our military academies on IT centric cyber skills, all the lights are green when it comes to understanding that we need much more critical infrastructure depth in the curriculums. I was happy to share my experience training and curating critical infrastructure cyber exercises for the military and what I learned from observing the skills and results. Rail, cyber, maritime, aviation, building, space and more. The threat landscape is more challenging in the age of AI. The synergy was palpable. As a nation, we have work to do. The impacts of continuing resolutions and a procurement system that can delay innovation by years are part of the work. The exploitation of disruptive technologies is an important challenge. Pivoting our education system and investing in vocational schools as an alternative for nontraditional learners is an important consideration. #cybersecurity #artificialintelligence Nozomi Networks Armis Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) Maverc Technologies Dovestech LLC #criticalinfrastructure https://lnkd.in/e-vNGyJM

Yes we need to automate and to cATO that builds off of SBOM application components, infrastructure and release components and score vulnerabilities in near real time. This will augment existing resources and benefit new ones as a force multiplier. Focus and funding are needed immediately.

To make crucial judgments, decision-makers in the United States Department of Defense and our armed services need the ability to integrate information from multiple sources that’s timely, accurate—and secure. Let’s talk about achieving those goals. The Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officers (CDAOs) across our national defense sector envision a Data Mesh architecture that integrates distributed, decentralized domain-specific data sources to enable decision making at the speed of relevance. While this approach should improve the availability of and access to accurate and up-to-date information, it also increases points of vulnerability to cyber intrusions. Our Digital Experience Platform (DXP) simplifies access to vital information for decision makers while protecting it through a robust Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) security model—validated in our recent work with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and US Army INSCOM. We’ve proven our value and security over more than a decade of successful solution delivery to the Defense Information Systems Agency, the Missile Defense Agency, the US Navy, the United States Air Force and others. Visit us in booth 3370 at AFCEA International TechNet Cyber 2024, June 24-27 in Baltimore, to learn more about how we can help streamline work and improve the digital user experience rapidly, reliably, and securely. For Kinetic Data customers and partners attending TechNet Cyber, we’ll be following up the event with two days of exclusive hands-on training at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel.

U.S. Department of Defense Unveils Fulcrum Strategy to Elevate Cyber and IT Capabilities "Fulcrum represents a strategic shift towards utilizing technology as a key enabler within the department," says Leslie Beavers, principal deputy CIO at the DoD. TECHNET CYBER 2024 — Today, the Department of Defense announced the launch of its Fulcrum Strategy, a comprehensive plan designed to enhance the department's cyber, command, control, and communications capabilities. The initiative was officially signed by Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks on June 20 and aims to significantly improve infrastructure, interoperability, and sustainability, while optimizing the IT experience for the end user — the warfighter. Leslie Beavers, principal deputy CIO at the DoD, highlighted during a media roundtable that "Fulcrum is about transforming our approach to technology, making it warfighter-centric rather than just functionally driven. We're focused on delivering intuitive, resilient, and combat-ready capabilities from the outset." Key Initiatives and Goals A core element of the Fulcrum Strategy is to bolster IT capabilities that support warfighters in complex, multi-domain operations, particularly in globally contested regions. "Our goal is to enhance information accessibility for warfighters, providing them with a decisive edge in decision-making," stated Savan Kong, Deputy CIO for Information Enterprise at the DoD. Kong further emphasized efforts to modernize the network infrastructure, increasing data transfer speeds and incorporating resilience by addressing outdated legacy technologies. The strategy includes the implementation of 'zero trust' security measures to safeguard these modernized networks. Optimizing IT Governance The strategy also seeks to refine IT governance to boost delivery efficiency, reduce costs, and streamline policies. "This initiative is aimed at driving efficiencies in capability delivery and achieving cost savings, while also addressing the people, resources, and results aspects of our operations," Kong explained. Future Steps and Collaboration Looking ahead, the DoD will roll out an implementation plan for the Fulcrum Strategy later this summer. "As we advance with Fulcrum, collaboration across various departments and units within the DoD will be vital for reshaping how decisions are made and enhancing our technological capabilities," Beavers noted.
