Session 1 Modernization of the Global C4ISR Enterprise To support today’s Mission/Operational challenges, a new approach is required in developing C4ISR Systems. Today’s modern C4ISR Systems need to address a broad range of challenges including processing an ever-increasing amount of data, technical and mission interoperability, resiliency from cyber-attacks, and ensuring support to the tactical edge. This panel of technical leaders across representative Services and Combat Support Agencies will share their challenges, solutions, and lessons learned.

Session 5 Secure Mobility Challenges Security and hacking trends change overnight and how do we take proactive steps to eradicate or mitigate the vulnerabilities? For all the government and industry more and more organization are moving towards securing the mobile computing environment whether it is for internal mission, public applications, or defending our nation. The role of mobility is driving workplace efficiency, flexibility, and this transition is leading to more challenges for the safety and integrity of government data. How can we be smarter to secure mobility and outsmart the bad ones?
