Empowering the Warfighter: Innovate, Integrate, Dominate Adversaries have taken to cyberspace to conduct continuous confrontations. Protecting cyber assets requires more than a single entity, it demands multiple organizations. This three-day event deeply explores why the harnessing of the right cyber power is more important than ever in a domain deluged by persistent attacks and simultaneous sophisticated campaigns that threaten global political, economic and security interests. A flagship event, AFCEA’s TechNet Cyber serves as a center of gravity for a whole-of-government effort to bring together the policy, strategic architecture, operations and C2— along with the joint capabilities—needed to meet the global security challenges and successfully operate in a digital environment. Join us in Baltimore to interact with IT professionals, hear from experts and develop solutions to ensure technology can connect people to information. Be a part of the conversation led by U.S. Cyber Command, DISA, the DoD CIO, and numerous industry and academia partners to deliver solutions for this enduring, no-fail mission.
