2019 CyCon US Call for Papers: NOW OPEN!
Theme: Defending Forward
CyCon US seeks technical, legal, political, and military positions and
research related to Defending Forward.
The Department of Defense’s (DoD) 2018 Cyber Strategy identifies the need
for active preparedness in cyberspace by “defending forward.” Defined as
disrupting or halting malicious cyber activity at its source, and
degrading said activity before it can reach its intended victim. This
preemptive strategy advocates defending resources, from military
operations to financial institutions, in both the public and private
sectors. Critical infrastructure and sectors of the economy that are
considered vital to the nation’s economic prosperity are consistently
scrutinized and exploited by several well-known cyber tools and
techniques. The Defending Forward strategy features a unique change from
the previous strategies - the private sector is encompassed within the
strategy as an ally, pivotal to defending the nation’s networks.
CyCon US 2019 will explore Defending Forward at an unclassified level and
in the context of:
* how it could be encapsulated by government, military, academic, and
commercial entities;
* how to make cyber positions and policies clear with respect to
mitigating risks of unintended escalation;
* how policies need to be modified to allow a functional relationship
between public and private sectors; the conditions that must be met for
an organization to take actions defined as defending forward;
* how defending forward may interact with the traditional principle of
sovereignty and territorial integrity in international law;
* how and what precautions should be acknowledged to mitigate collateral
and secondary damages for both public and private sectors; how
government, military, academic and commercial organizations can build
and maintain resiliency in their networks after an exploit.
CyCon US is a leading conference on cyber conflict. It provides a venue
for fresh ideas, relevant and actionable content, insight into future
trends, and access to industry, government, and military leaders, cyber
innovators, and pioneers in the discipline. The conference promotes
multidisciplinary cyber initiatives and furthers research and cooperation
on cyber threats and opportunities. CyCon US is a collaborative effort
between the Army Cyber Institute (ACI) at the U.S. Military Academy at
West Point and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.
CyCon US complements the outstanding NATO CyCon Conference held every
spring in Estonia.
