What will be covered

Secure Architecture Approach for Zero Trust
In today’s interconnected digital landscape, trust is a vulnerability. Learn how to build a Zero Trust Architecture that verifies every user, device, and connection—ensuring end-to-end security.
Learn more
Enhance Visibility and Security with Observability
You can’t secure what you can’t see. Observability provides the visibility needed to identify vulnerabilities and monitor digital ecosystems in real-time.
Learn more
Secure Sensitive Data with Homomorphic Encryption
Traditional encryption isn’t enough when data needs to be processed and analyzed in real-time. Discover how Homomorphic Encryption enables secure search and data usage without exposing sensitive information.
Learn more
Eliminating Vulnerabilities Before They Reach Production
Learn how Chainguard helps DoD teams build and ship software faster by using pre-secured, compliant open-source components—reducing vulnerabilities and ATO delays from the start.
Learn more
Building Trust via Next-Gen Consensus Mechanisms
The Hedera network is leading the way in enterprise-grade distributed ledger technology, offering fast, fair, and secure consensus mechanisms that power mission-critical applications. This session will showcase real-world use cases, best practices, and strategies for implementing next-gen trust models in your supply chain.
Learn more
Contested Logistics in High-Threat Environments
Supply chains don’t just face delays—they face cyberattacks, geopolitical disruptions, and real-world operational threats. Learn how AI-driven predictive analytics, scenario planning, and adaptive logistics strategies help organizations maintain resilience in contested environments. Discover how military and enterprise leaders stress-test supply chain readiness before disruptions happen.

Come to the Registration desk in the lobby to check-in and get your name tag. UNCOMN staff will be available throughout the day if you have any questions.
Zero Trust isn’t just for internal networks—it’s essential for securing complex supply chains. As organizations rely on vendors, contractors, and logistics partners, access control gaps create major security risks. Learn how Zero Trust principles apply to the extended supply chain, using micro-segmentation, continuous verification, and dynamic access policies to minimize vulnerabilities.
Mission-critical data is often locked away in silos, making secure collaboration difficult. Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) allow DoD agencies access, analyze, and leverage sensitive data—without moving or exposing it. Learn how PETs align with Zero Trust principles to enable secure AI/ML applications, streamline data usage, and enhance mission readiness.

Chief, Customer Success | Enveil
Time to connect, exchange ideas, and dive deeper into topics of interest. Fostering meaningful discussions and potential collaborations.
You can’t secure what you can’t see. With supply chains spanning multiple vendors, data centers, and operational nodes, real-time observability is critical for detecting threats before they disrupt operations. Learn how AI-driven observability helps agencies connect the dots across supply chain operations—enhancing resilience, compliance, and security in mission-critical environments.

Most vulnerabilities don’t live in the code you write—they’re hiding in the open-source components your software depends on. And for teams pursuing an ATO, that means delays, patching marathons, and reactive security that pulls focus from mission delivery.
In this session, Chainguard will walk through a secure-by-default approach—one that embeds hardened, FIPS-compliant software components directly into your DevSecOps pipeline. You’ll learn how to shift security left, reduce ATO timelines, and meet DoD compliance standards before code ever reaches production.
Traditional supply chain tracking can’t keep up with today’s operational challenges. Emerging distributed ledger and consensus mechanisms provide tamper-evident, real-time visibility into supply chain transactions—helping agencies streamline compliance, reduce fraud, and improve coordination across partners. Learn how next-gen trust models support secure, transparent supply chain operations.
Unwind and continue conversations in a relaxed setting, offering a chance to network.


About Educate & Innovate
Theme: Fortifying Every Link
Organizations today struggle to effectively integrate advanced technologies like AI, machine learning, cloud computing, and cybersecurity into their operations, resulting in inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
Operational staff often lack the training to apply AI to real-world scenarios such as supply chain management, while leadership needs frameworks for incorporating AI into business processes for predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, and inventory optimization. The continuous threat of cyber-attacks demands a united defense strategy. Our event addresses these challenges by providing targeted training and certification, offering leadership strategies, fostering a collaborative professional community, and promoting robust cyber defense collaboration.
