11:30am – 12:30pm | How Big Data is Creating the Military of the Future | |
More than 90% of all the data that has ever existed was created in just the last three years. Welcome to the big data era. Together, we are living through a historic transition in our ability to use massive data sets. But all of this data finds its most important use in the hands of national security professionals. There will be 44 times as much digital information in 2020 (35 zetabytes) as there was in 2009. Presentation by MarkLogic Panel Discussion (Moderator) Patrick Tucker |

JIE and IC ITE- Information Dominance in the Age of Everything | ||
Tomorrow’s conflicts will be contested over land, air, sea and – perhaps mostly – over nebulous cyberspace, where any web-connected device is a potential target and everything is at risk. The Joint Information Environment is the Defense Department’s response to the Internet of Everything, addressing budgetary concerns, growing threat vectors and information dominance. How is JIE impacting today’s military and national security community, and how will it shape the future of the Defense Department? Presentation by CDW-G One-on-One Interview |

Inside the Mind of a Cyber Spy | ||
A glimpse into the mindset of hackers and the national security personnel out to stop them.
