Event Title
Evolving CDS Architectures at the Speed of Missions
Speakers
Mr. Ben Rosenfeld – Software Engineer, Nteligen
Dr. David DeProspero – Chief Engineer and Senior Computer Scientist, AFRL/RI
Dr. Brian P. Testa – Principal Computer Scientist, AFRL/RI
Mr. John Spicer, Vice President of Technical Strategy, Nteligen
Description: Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) have long been foundational in enabling secure, controlled data sharing across security domains. However, while mission requirements have rapidly advanced and technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, the prevailing approaches to CDS have mainly remained static, bound by traditional approaches.
In today’s mission environment, real-time data sharing is a strategic imperative, and CDS is critical. Furthermore, Operational agility, informed decision-making, and mission success increasingly depend on moving information securely and efficiently across diverse environments. The current CDS paradigm of guard-based solutions is struggling to keep pace.
In Part One of this presentation, Nteligen — the most trusted and experienced leader in the CDS community — will present critical insights from years of delivering secure, mission-driven CDS capabilities and drawing on deep expertise across the full CDS lifecycle, from policy development to technical integration and operational deployment. Nteligen will discuss the need to shift how we allocate risk mitigation from singular guarding solutions to composite solutions that meet mission needs while providing increased flexibility and speed.
In Part Two, a distinguished panel of Government leaders and technical experts will examine the broader CDS ecosystem. They will candidly discuss the community’s operational, policy, and architectural challenges and what it will take to evolve CDS into a modern, flexible framework that supports secure, scalable, and timely data sharing.
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. The US Government (military and civilian), contractors, SOSSEC members, and non-members are encouraged and welcome to attend these Cyber Talk briefings to learn more about successful technology collaboration. The recommended audience is program managers, development teams, engineers, architects, security managers, security specialists, system administrators, and analysts who work in DoD cyberspace.
