Mastering Cyber Recovery: Real-World Strategies and Best Practices for Risk Mitigation

Presented by: Michael Ambruso, Technical Solutions Architect II, World Wide Technology

In today’s digital landscape, Cyber Recovery is a critical aspect of risk management, requiring a nuanced understanding of what needs to be restored, the urgency of restoration, and the security of recovery vaults. This session delves into the complexities of Cyber Recovery, offering real-world experiences and actionable strategies to help you avoid common pitfalls. We will clarify the distinctions between Cyber Recovery and Cyber Resilience, providing a comprehensive guide to building robust solutions that minimize risk and ensure project success. Additionally, we will explore key concepts such as ‘air gap’ and ‘immutable storage,’ and their vital roles in enhancing Cyber Resiliency and Recovery. Join us to gain valuable insights to fortify your organization’s cyber defense mechanisms.

Quantum Computing Essentials: An Introduction

Presented by: Gabe Chang, IBM Quantum Ambassador

Quantum machines are truly accessible on physical hardware over the public cloud. This radically new kind of computing opens the possibility of solving some problems that are now and perhaps always will be intractable for “classical” computers. Quantum algorithms that run upon the hardware have been proven and demonstrated in many areas of the natural sciences as well as data science to show improvements in computational speed, optimization problems, machine learning, AI, decision-making, classification problems, and more. This discussion covers what is available today, near future, and beyond the next few years, in an overview of quantum. We will discuss the mechanics behind superconducting circuits, the physics’ concepts and principles of quantum interaction, applicability to difficult-to-solve technical challenges, and is followed by a demonstration of running algorithms upon an actual quantum computer over the cloud.

To the Edge and Beyond: Solving the Growing Demand for Extended Distance Network Devices Description

Presented By: Jay Nusbaum – Federal Systems Engineer, Commscope – RCDD

Ever since the development of PDS in the early 80s, network designers have looked for ways to extend the network and reach devices in far-away spaces in the building. The original method of extending the network was the IDF closet, and it has surely stood the test of time, but the network’s utility and importance has grown as the list of IP devices has expanded exponentially, so network designers now need to extend the network into every nook and cranny of the building and surrounding campus.

In this session, we’ll discuss future applications that will broaden this demand, and the three best methods of extending the network, reaching further and further than ever before: Hybrid Powered Fiber, Building Edge Infrastructure, and Extended Reach Category Twisted Pair with larger gauge pairs. The presentation will cover:

The Collaborative Power of H2F to Meet the Needs of the Devil Brigade

Date: Wed 01 May
Time: 1400-1420
Location: Main Ballroom / 2nd Floor
Speaker: CPT Sean Kratchman, Mental Readiness Director, Devil H2F, 1BCT, 82nd ABN DIV

Description:
H2F teams across the force are postured with the right blend of leadership, talent, and teamwork to meet the needs of their supported Brigades. In 2023, Devil H2F, 1BCT, 82nd ABN DIV rose to meet the need of their Paratroopers, specifically shifting their efforts towards Acute Concussion Care post Airborne Operation (ABO). This presentation is a case study into the effective, interdisciplinary approach of an H2F team meeting an organic need quickly and continually refining processes along the way to ensure the highest level of care for Devil Brigade Paratroopers.

Multidisciplinary Approach to Improve Marksmanship and Lethality by Synchronizing Breath Control and Heart Rate

Date: Wed 01 May
Time: 1400-1420
Location: Room 108-109 / 1st Floor
Speakers: MAJ Laura Dy, 3BCT 10MTN DIV Patriot H2F; Ms. Rebecca Lawler, CMPC; Mr. John Herger, CSCS

Description:
Infantry Soldiers protect our Country at the ground level. They have the greatest need to be not just proficient in their weapons skills, but experts. Soldiers are taught, and continually train the physical, tactical, and technical skills required for their jobs but often neglect training the psychological skills needed to stay focused and make decisions under stress. Managing stress and learning to use it appropriately for positive outcomes is a critical skill. “Breath control should be a mandatory component of survival stress management” Asken, Grossman, and Christensen, 2009.

The multidisciplinary team of Strength and Conditioning coach (SCC), Cognitive Performance Specialist (CPS), and Occupational Therapist (OT) at Fort Johnson, Louisiana are working together to improve readiness, situational awareness, and marksmanship accuracy. The team is using the DART weapons simulation system to measure marksmanship through realistic scenarios and Inner Balance Software technology to measure coherence, synchronizing breath control and heart rate. The Soldiers receive psychoeducation and practice on imagery, pre-performance routines, and heart rate variability (HRV) from the CPS and OT team. Soldiers participate in physical exercise to increase heart rate and respiration rate to mimic increased stress levels. Soldiers transition to the DART range and are given 1 minute to execute their newly developed skills prior to shooting. Our goal is for Soldiers to enhance psychological hardiness by learning arousal control leading to a more lethal Soldier.
