Opening remarks of the workshop were provided by LTG Edward Cardon, USA, Commander, Army Cyber Command, and Russell Quirici, iCollege Dean of Students. The roadmap for CYBER BEACON 2014 were provided by event co-chairs COL Jon Brickey, Ph.D, USA, Army Cyber Command, and CDR David Di Tallo, iCollege faculty, USN.
The workshop focused on the following key areas and questions:
