Challenges Facing Test and Evaluation
Cybersecurity continues to be at the forefront of the DoD acquisition community. As this contested environment brings new challenges at as accelerated rate, the T&E community must be prepared to meet new requirements.
This Workshop provides an opportunity to share ideas among experienced T&E professionals regarding threat ad requirements, test capabilities, autonomous systems, and evaluation methodologies. Our goal is to share ideas on how to better characterize cybersecurity threats, evaluate system performance when attacked by a cybersecurity threat, and assess risk of using the system in the presence of a cybersecurity threat.
Please join us in Belcamp, Maryland, as members of the T&E community from academia, industry, and government discuss the evolving discipline of Cybersecurity T&E. Come share your thoughts, connect with others, and learn from some of the leading experts at this Workshop. The cyber threat will only increase with time. See you there!
