Why Exhibit?

The DoD CIO provided guidance for a bi-annual event that includes cyber defenders/operators to discuss delivering a Zero Trust IL6 Cloud capability to support coalition information sharing at the SECRET and Below Releasable level. The Summit’s theme, “Evolving MPE: Implementing Zero Trust Security in the IL6 Cloud” reinforces DoD’s overarching strategic shift that embraces technology as a mission enabler.

The DoD MPE strategic environment comprises independent solutions that often lack standardized and interoperable transregional capabilities. The Department’s strategies for digital modernization, a unified approach for data, analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), enhanced cybersecurity, and improved Command, Control, and Intelligence interoperability have shaped MPE modernization objectives.

The Summit will focus on current capabilities, ongoing development activities, and future modernization efforts. With participation from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, Combatant Commands, Services, Agencies (CC/S/As), and key stakeholders from the MPE community, this summit will enable and advance collaboration and knowledge sharing by fostering involvement from senior leaders, subject matter experts, and Five Eyes (FVEY) Mission Partners.

Exhibitors will have an opportunity to demonstrate their products and services relevant to the summit objectives.
