About

The Defense One Summit is a forum to discuss big ideas, share leadership lessons and hold timely conversations about the issues shaping U.S. defense strategy and global security.

This year’s event will gather an elite audience of more than 400 senior military, defense and national security stakeholders to explore the changing “purpose” of the U.S. military in the new global security architecture.

Speakers and panelists will look deep into the U.S. military’s role against today’s global threats and challenge the boundaries of America’s global security interest.  Active senior military and national security leaders will debate topics such as U.S. Military intervention and use of force, the role of the U.S. Military in the Middle East and Washington’s decisions surrounding American power and Intelligence.

Planning for a Robust DoD Workforce

As the Department of Defense faces unprecedented threats and increasing budget constraints, the importance of a long-term talent management strategy is more critical than ever. In a recent Government Business Council research study, over 400 defense and national security leaders shared their opinions on key workforce planning issues. In this session, trends and practices will be discussed, as well as results of the study to include:

  • The current state of workforce planning across defense agencies
  • Competencies and the role they play in workforce planning and how they relate to employee development
  • How complete, accurate, and timely data can assist with workforce planning
 

We'll cover these compelling survey findings and discuss best practices with Dr. Tim Lagan, an industrial organizational psychologist who specializes in implementing workforce planning programs within government.

1:20pm – 2:05pm Cyber-Economic Risk Insights

Well-funded and highly skilled threat actors are engaging in cyber-enabled economic schemes around the world. Their purpose is to gain competitive advantage in the global economy through the conversion of stolen intellectual property, manipulation of markets, and financial theft. Traditional cyber intrusion analysis fails to adequately detect these schemes as the investigative focus is solely technical and reactive in nature. EY’s Cyber-Economic Risk Insights platform helps the C-suite and government agencies proactively identify business and security risks by combining financial, market, and geopolitical data with technical security data to predict emerging threats. This session will provide attendees with:

  • An overview of the Cyber-Economic threat
  • Impact to the Defense Industrial Base
  • Outline mitigation steps for the government and contracting firms to consider while protecting U.S. security interests
