How Industry Can Help

• Push Enterprise NetOps solutions to AFCYBER

• Sharing specialized functional system expertise
• Improve info technology integration
  capabilities
• Training as we retool / re-skill our workforce

10
Why This Matters

• Adversaries are adaptive, amorphous, and
  stealthy, do not have high-value targets.stealth
  enables them to neutralize US operational
  advantages, making US reliance on information
  more pronounced than in past
• Improving a commanders access to, and
  understanding of, the information, combined with
  the ability to collaborate effectively with
  others, willlead to better military
  decision-making.
• The Services need to organize, train, and equip
  O/T/E information management personnel to
  develop technological and procedural capability
