SOLD! Addressing Emerging Security Threats

• enhancements that allow security personnel to better identify and address threats "left of boom"

SOLD! The Future of Open Source Intelligence

OSINT continues its emergence as a powerful tool helping to reshape the current state of our nation’s security. Whether through the aggregation of commercially available information or publicly available information sources, the analysis of this data has been proven to meet critical needs in support of national security operations. The unclassified nature of OSINT and its various collection methods has created a deeper conversation within the Intelligence Community on everything from collection methods to the professional discipline structure necessary to properly capture and utilize the data.

Potential topics of discussion include transparency issues; future of OSINT as a professional discipline; how generative AI can be both a threat and operational enhancer; crowdsourcing of intelligence, and more.

SOLD! Data and Quantum Computing

As the advantages and potential capabilities of quantum continue to emerge and evolve, so do the potential threats. Whether China, Russia, other adversaries, or non-state actors understanding the current and future quantum environment will be key to the United States’ strategic success. 

Potential topics of discussion include post-quantum encryption; the future of data aggregation, analysis, and use; review of new strategic plans and standards set by Intelligence Community agencies their components, and more.
