Cyber Snake Oil
Many high-tech areas are rife for egregious claims where reality cannot possibly live up to the hype. Cyber security is one of these that is especially vulnerable to this. As Bruce Schneier once stated that security appears like black magic to the uninitiated, it appears complex and untenable to many. This talk will delve into a few common examples and approaches to try and reground evaluating cyber security solutions.

DATC’s partnership with the U.S. Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center has established the Cyber Affinity Group to respond to the GVSC’s topic areas and cybersecurity needs for ground vehicles. Observe the process of technical problem-solving.
- Security of supply chain from a technical perspective; as opposed to a regulation perspective
- Codifying cyber requirements and security considerations during weapon system design
- Building and engineering cyber resiliency into ground combat/tactical systems
- Technology transition from both military science and technology (S&T) and commercial automotive (trucking/ avionics) R&D to fielded/ military operational capability
