Defense Strategies Institute Professional Educational Forum: Identity Management Symposium Advancing Biometric and Identity Activity Solutions April 18-19, 2017: Mary M. Gates Learning Center Alexandria, VA
Program Design & Goal: To more accurately identify threats that pose risks to vital U.S. Interests, the U.S. Government is actively seeking improvements to their biometric, identity and access management capabilities in order to provide greater insight on the behavior, intent and actions of known and unknown threat actors. As the need to secure valuable information online grows exponentially, the U.S. Government and DoD will continue to implement greater identity management strategies and adopt biometric technologies that promote greater online security. The 2017 Identity Management Symposium will provide valuable information on the current and prospective initiatives that the U.S. Government supports in order to integrate advanced identity and access management practices for greater defense and security. The Symposium will also provide updates on the biometric initiatives and technologies that improve the efficiency and security of Government Organizations. DSI s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposium's content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the community from operational leaders, the R&D Community, key policy-makers, as well as solution providers from Industry and Academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers. Operating Guidelines: DSI s Symposium directly supports DoD, DHS, and Government priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department's mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time. DSI s Symposium will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission. * The Symposium is open and complimentary to all DoD and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum. * (Industry and academia members are charged a fee of attendance) Symposium is CLOSED TO PRESS / NO RECORDINGS General Target Audience: Identity Management, Biometrics, Access Management, Identity Activity, Cyber Security, Forensics, Identity Intelligence, Digital Forensics Specific topics to be discussed include: - Next-Generation Access Management and Credentialing Initiatives - Current and future Mobile Biometric Capabilities and Standards - Multi-Modal Authentication Initiatives and Updates - Identity Intelligence Information Exchange and Sharing Initiatives - Standardizing Online Identity Practices to Increase Verification and Security - Biometric Technology R&D Requirements and Focus Areas - Big Data Solutions to Bolster Identification Information Collection - Advancements to Biometric Search Capabilities - Cyber Security Considerations and Initiatives - Recognition Technology Strategies post US-VISIT/IDENT - Biometric Investment Priorities; Future Trends and Industry s Role - Digital Forensics Initiatives - Improvements to Biometric Matching and Reporting - Facilitating Best Biometric Practices for Greater Border Protection - RDT&E for Future Biometric Modalities
