Event Description
In modern cyber warfare, Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) isn’t just for kinetic operations—it’s essential for securing networks. This talk explores how military-grade IPB methodologies can be adapted to cyber defense operations, enabling structured reconnaissance, proactive threat detection, and strategic response planning. By applying these principles, cyber warriors can anticipate attacks, identify vulnerabilities, and maintain control in contested digital environments. Through a disciplined approach to network intelligence, we reinforce data security, ensuring that what’s ours stays ours.
Who Should Attend?
This event is open to the public for those eager to enhance the effectiveness of the Department of the Army Defense Cyber Operations (DCO) cyberspace and cybersecurity infrastructure through critical research, experiments, development, testing, and the development of innovative technologies. US Government (military and civilian), contractors, SOSSEC members, and non-members are encouraged and welcome to attend to learn more about successful technology collaboration from these Cyber Talk briefings. The recommended audience is program managers, development teams, engineers, architects, security managers, security specialists, system administrators, and analysts who work in DoD cyberspace.
