DCO hosts virtual industry Cyber Talks

FORT BELVOIR, Va. -- On March 31, 2020, Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) held its first 100% virtual industry Cyber Talks event, with over 100 active participants -- the largest turnout thus far. A diverse panel of the Army’s leading cyber acquisition professionals discussed with industry the unyielding need for innovation and integration during this critical time.

“We are on the forefront of cyber acquisition, and we need our industry partners to engage and move at the speed of relevance.”

In order to accomplish the mission, the panelists discussed the process and importance of the Army’s Cyberspace Operations Broad Responsive Agreement (COBRA) Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement. They shared lessons learned from past events and demonstrated how DCO identifies potential solutions quickly, from a variety of innovative sources. The panelists revealed to industry how they evaluate these solutions and determine suitability for integration into the target mission environment.

DCO’s next iteration of Cyber Talks will be in late April. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to learn about “Network Capture Hardware.” Stay tuned for the upcoming announcement.
