Cyber epitomizes this year’s I/ITSEC theme — Harnessing New Technologies to Win in a Complex World. From Russia’s synchronization of cyber operations to kinetic warfare in Estonia and the Ukraine, to North Korea’s hacks of the Sony corporation and private emails to influence U.S. economic activities, to alleged Russian influence in the 2016 Presidential election, cyber plays a major role across the various domains (Air, Land, Maritime, Space and Industrial). Cyber is complimentary to the elements of national power (diplomacy, information, military, and economic) and its influence is magnified as the population becomes increasingly more connected. In their May 2017 Wi-Fi Risk Report, Norton by Symantec estimates that more than half of consumers globally (55%) wouldn’t think twice about exchanging, sharing or even doing something risky to get a strong Wi-Fi signal.
The Cyber Operations in a Complex World executive panel brings together key leaders from Industry, Congress, Academia, and the Department of Defense to discuss the tough issues associated with cyber, including policy, training, talent management, and education.
