Tracks: Innovation Showcase

Modern defensive cyber operations demand rapidly deployable systems with maximized compute, high-density storage, and the ability to operate across austere tactical networks to 100G enterprise environments. These missions increasingly require a cyber hunt platform that unifies advanced hardware with security operations center (SOC) in a box capabilities and AI-enabled mission software to support cyber operators in both the tactical and enterprise domains. This session examines how modern, modular, TAA-compliant hunt kits form the critical foundation of a scalable cyber hunt platform. Attendees will learn how advances in compute density, storage optimization, and high-speed networking can be combined with SOC-in-a-box capabilities and AI-enabled software to accelerate hunts, reduce analyst workload, and support mission execution from disconnected edge environments to enterprise network monitoring.
