Strategic planning is only half the battle—real protection comes from how well you execute. This session will show you how to apply new approaches to turn your cybersecurity strategy into practical, measurable outcomes that stop threat actors before damage is done

• Adapt your cyber framework to shifting threat landscapes
• Improve coordination between policy, operations, and IT teams
• Increase visibility and control over critical digital assets
• Optimize resource allocation for rapid, resilient response
• Transform plans into frontline-ready protocols with clear accountability

Extended Reality (XR) is an all-encompassing term that groups three similar technologies: virtual (VR), augmented (AR), and mixed reality (MR).  While XR is a field that has been in development in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) since the late 1960s, it has continued to see major advancements in recent years. XR is a transformative technology that offers a powerful solution to modernize workflows and enhance operational performance, by reducing costs, improving efficiency, and minimizing risks. This session will explore the current XR landscape and share strategies of integrating XR into maintenance programs for impactful results.

• Optimize maintenance training with immersive XR technologies
• Reduce operational downtime and costs using XR-driven solutions
• Enhance skills retention and readiness through interactive learning
• Address challenges in deploying XR within defense environments

Split into specialized conversation areas and join engaging discussions to dive deeper into your innovation priorities.

Creating and implementing a cyber security strategy is more critical than ever as the number of security-related breaches rises. Cybersecurity strategy is the big picture that gives us the chance to begin solving that puzzle, rather than just being experts on a few items. Therefore, it is imperative to have a well thought out plan for execution.

This panel of industry thought experts will share insights and knowledge. From this session you will have a better understanding of:

• What are the most important considerations when developing a cybersecurity incident response plan?
• Identify External Data Security Resources.
• Learn how different leaders are building a culture comprised of the right systems, processes, and people to support their strategy.
