Welcome!
On behalf of Palo Alto Networks and our Service Academy hosts, we would like to thank you for attending our virtual Joint Service Academy Cybersecurity Summit (JSAC), The Role of Cyber in Hybrid Warfare and Great Power Competition/Conflict.
We hosted a panel of cybersecurity experts who covered hybrid warfare. We've been witnessing the increasing use of cyber capabilities as part of ongoing adversary efforts to wage hybrid warfare against western democracies to gain a position of advantage while staying below the traditional threshold for the use of force or armed conflict. Now that the situation in Ukraine has crossed this traditional threshold, how does the use of cyber continue to impact events? This form of great power competition and conflict presents unique challenges for western democracies. This panel including our nation's top Cyber Component Commanders from across the Services and Joint Cyber Forces, discussed the role of cyber in hybrid warfare and their views of the role that the military, government, industry, academia and even responsible citizens can play to counter this form of non-traditional conflict that is threatening the very fabric of our free society.
Over its history, the JSAC program has had the privilege of featuring Cabinet Secretaries, Members of Congress, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and numerous Flag and General Officers from all branches of service. After years of continued disruptions that have transformed the threat environment, we look forward to continuing this important dialogue about our collective defense, and welcoming you back for JSAC 2023.
