WASHINGTON - The Naval Sea System Command will host a
cybersecurity industry day Oct. 30 on the Washington Navy Yard to provide
industry with information on cybersecurity-related contracting opportunities
for various NAVSEA and Program Executive Offices.
Attending cybersecurity businesses will hear from NAVSEA
leadership, cybersecurity managers and contracting experts from NAVSEA and five
Program Executive Offices. The forum
will address challenges in protecting data - monitoring, detection and
containment of external and internal threats.
NAVSEA and the Program Executive Offices work in many
different environments, from enterprise-wide networks to stand-alone systems
such as industrial plant equipment. Systems range from non-real time
non-deterministic, such as business systems, to virtual training systems, to
real-time, deterministic systems such as combat and weapon systems. The forum will also address other systems
within that spectrum: control systems; hull, mechanical & electrical
systems; navigation systems; interior communications systems; as well as those
for maintenance; and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation.
The day will include program briefings and break-out
sessions that will allow businesses to speak face-to-face with NAVSEA program,
contracting and cybersecurity managers.
Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. with briefings sessions running from
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Additionally, booths manned by program office and
cybersecurity subject matter experts will be available throughout the day to
answer any specific questions.
