The Indo-Pacific region presents unique operational challenges that demand resilient solutions for secure, multi-domain collaboration in increasingly contested environments. As defense organizations accelerate adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance decision-making and operational overmatch, integration with robust cybersecurity frameworks such as Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is paramount to ensuring mission assurance. Deploying AI-driven capabilities at the tactical edge in disconnected, denied, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) environments requires a meticulous balance between operational agility, cybersecurity assurance, and interoperability across joint and coalition forces.
Key topics addressed will include:
● Secure AI Deployment: Overcoming cyber and operational risks in DDIL scenarios using
ZTA-integrated AI models.
● Dynamic Interoperability: Ensuring coalition compatibility while maintaining secure data
exchanges and real-time collaboration.
● Ethical AI Use: Crafting deployment frameworks that balance operational effectiveness
with ethical decision-making in military applications.
● Scaling Resilience: Lessons learned from national defense policy to integrate ZTA and
AI at scale for enduring mission success regardless of emerging threats. Attendees will gain actionable insights and strategy recommendations to align cutting-edge AI technologies with ZTA principles, ensuring secure, survivable, and interconnected military operations within the complex Indo-Pacific operational theater.
