Department of Defense Deputy CIO Headlines FOSE Defense Innovations Conference
Experts Provide In-Depth Insights into the Latest Innovative Changes in Defense Technologies
Vienna, Va – March 28, 2012 – At the beginning of this year, the Department of Defense (DoD) released a new strategy that called for increased investments in technological innovation, specifically in the areas of cybersecurity and intelligence systems. Before implementing these advances, the DoD and industry will need to be armed with the knowledge and insights to apply these technologies in a secure environment. The FOSE 2012 Defense Innovations Conference will provide answers to the latest threats, how to adapt enterprise-wide programs, as well as solutions to protecting and achieving the DoD mission. Attendees will be able to participate in sessions focused on Cybersecurity, Mobile Device and Application Security, Enterprise Resource Planning Systems and Biometric Integration. FOSE 2012 will take place April 3-5, 2012 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
“The DoD has always been at the forefront of technological innovation,” said Daniel McKinnon, Vice President, Government Events, 1105 Media, Inc. “The heightened state of security combined with directives to cut costs and be more efficient is only elevating the requirements for technologically-advanced, effective and safe solutions. This year we are excited that some of the DoD’s top leaders will share the latest developments, from defending cyberspace to equipping the soldier with secure mobile devices.”
The Defense Innovations Conference keynote address, DoD Force Multipliers in the Cyber Age, will be delivered by Robert Carey, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Information Management, Integration and Technology) and Department of Defense Deputy Chief Information Officer. Mr. Carey’s presentation will include the DoD’s concerns over future budget constraints and will touch upon key areas that could potentially provide more capability, in a secure manner, within a resource-constrained environment.
