Learn the main principles of cryptography to build a solid foundation - taught by Paul M. Davis is Vice President of Government Business Development at SecureDAM and Founder and President of JANUS Think.The seminar will cover some of the major technical pillars that rest on this foundation, including financial technology, Big Data, and Machine Learning. The seminar will later dive deeply into digital currencies and digital ledgers, computer viruses, Malware, and automation. The seminar will tie all this knowledge into a heuristic overview of the cyber intelligence industry, its major public and private players, and how they collaboratively work together to form defensive and, in some cases, offensive capabilities.
Artificial Intelligence
Discussion of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, and practical examples of how this technology is used. – taught by Charles Pfaff who has had an extensive career and research interests including advising on cyber, regional military affairs, security cooperation, military ethics, and the Middle East.This virtual seminar will provide a fundamental understanding of how artificial intelligence and cyber tools will affect the global battlefield in the years to come. The seminar will begin by exploring the current status of artificial intelligence technology, the published cyber capabilities of international actors, and the current United States cyber strategy. Then the seminar will take a look at the projected abilities of artificial intelligence and its implications for warfare, based on released statements by both the private sector and government actors.
Virtual Skills Analysis
Develop analytic skills in accordance with the standards and practices currently in use in the intelligence community – taught by Brian Lane, a Subject Matter Expert (SME) with more than fifteen years of experience in the maritime and intelligence communities.
Vital Skills Analysis (VSA) introduces students to the skills required to conduct all-source cyber intelligence analysis, with emphasis on predictive techniques. It begins by introducing students to the basic principles of intelligence analysis, and then how those principles are applied using practical assignments. Students will select open-source cyber topics, research the information, and learn to write assessments. Through this methodology, students will apply the skills learned, gain experience writing one-page assessments, quick briefing of senior leaders, and defending their work. VSA serves as a common foundation for developing analytic skills in accordance with the standards and practices currently in use in the intelligence community.
International Law Governing Cyber Operations
This session is rich with information regarding what is legal when conducting cyber operations and distinguishes between legal and morally correct.– taught by Ethan Burger, a Washington D.C.- based international attorney and educator with a background in cybersecurity, transnational financial crime, and Russian legal matters.
This virtual seminar on "Introduction to the International Law Governing Cyber Operations" will address the international law appropriate to the evolving frontier of offensive cyber capabilities. In particular, the course is designed with an emphasis on Russian cyber activity and subsequent U.S. policy debates and responses. As the course progresses, students will be challenged and grapple with defining standards for the behavior of states in cyberspace that is in line with international law. Subsequently, students will examine tension areas in U.S.-Russian relations and learn how cyber capabilities affect interstate issues, both old and new.
Cyber Intelligence and Statecraft
The Cyber Intelligence Initiative (CII) Cyber Strategy Development (CSD) seminar provides students with a broad exposure to concepts and practices in the fields of strategy, planning, cyberspace, and intelligence. – taught by Joe Billingsley is Founder of the Military Cyber Professionals Association (MCPA).
Students will examine, evaluate, and discuss existing cyber strategies and learn how to craft their own.The Cyber Intelligence Initiative (CII) Cyber Strategy Development (CSD) seminar provides students with a broad exposure to concepts and practices in the fields of strategy, planning, cyberspace, and intelligence.

*Only U.S. citizens will be admitted to this event, and only after each has registered online in advance of the event beginning.
Insider Threat
Learn about identification, indicators, motives, methodologies and most importantly mitigation techniques designed to establish a proactive defensive posture – taught by Chris Kay, a Senior Policy Advisor to Naval Intelligence and a retired Naval Officer, with over 20 years of management expertise in strategy and policy
Designed for the non-technical professional, this webinar is a basic review of cybersecurity issues pertinent to the study of insider threats. Learn about the various types of insider threats prevalent today – including state and non-state actors, as well as their motivations and methodologies (both technical and increasingly non-technical). See the policies and legal framework within which insider threat prevention and mitigation must operate. Explore the development of effective multi-disciplinary mitigation strategies as part of an overall risk management program leading to more effective anti-insider threat mechanisms.
Enterprise Threat Modeling
This webinar will address Enterprise Threat Modeling from a broad policy and strategic level and then dive into the operational level where risk management has many components – taught by Charles Chen, the Director of Artificial Intelligence at U.S. Department of State.This virtual seminar will examine the concepts, techniques, and primary goals of threat modeling. The course will introduce the value of techniques and strategies within threat modeling and will complete an exercise to understand and implement a threat model based on the data and information collected. Threat models and techniques that will be introduced include: understanding the goals and strategic perspective in using threat models on an Enterprise System, a basic conceptual understanding of cybersecurity and data protection, a general understanding of the impact of data compromise from a statecraft and/or global perspective, and the primary goals of threat modeling.

Technology Underpinning Cyber Intelligence
Technology Underpinning Cyber-Intelligence will begin by introducing the main principles of cryptography to initially build a solid foundation. – Charles Chen is the Director of Artificial Intelligence at U.S. Department of State.
Slowly we will progress to develop some of the major technical pillars that rest on this foundation, including; financial technology, Big Data, Machine Learning and later diving deeply into digital currencies and digital ledgers, computer viruses, Malware and automation. Finally, we will tie all this knowledge into a heuristic overview of the cyber-intelligence industry and the major public and private players and how they collaboratively work together to form a defensive and in some cases offensive capabilities.
Cyber Critical Infrastructure
Explore the human and technological components for an infrastructure that will support an organization’s mission - taught by Roman Etebar.Learn the components of a successful cyber security program from a people, process, and technology perspective. Focusing on people, the student will learn how to address cyber security challenges from a business/mission perspective. The student will learn how to work with technical and business teams to address critical cyber hygiene issues. When addressing process, the student will learn how to develop policies, procedures, guidelines, and standards that are effective and support their organization’s mission.
