Mr. Conway of the SANS Institute, a private industry partner for Cyber Shield, discusses the unique challenges of protecting critical infrastructure during the Cyber Shield: Defense, Offense, and Strategy Podcast. Conway highlights the safety constraints of defending real-world operational technology (OT), the evolution of the 500/600 cyber curriculum, and the importance of building a virtual cyber "gym" where operators can fail in practice to ensure they succeed during real-world incidents.
This podcast dives into the stories of the people, programs, and resources within the Cyber Shield exercise. These experts lead the way in cybersecurity and cyber defense, sharing their real-world experiences from the virtual frontlines.
Cyber Shield is the Department of Defense’s longest-running and largest unclassified cyber defense exercise. The mission of Cyber Shield is to develop, train, and test cyber forces in internal computer network defense and cyber incident response. This year's exercise brings together more than 1,000 National Guard Soldiers and Airmen, civilian experts from over 44 states and territories, and representatives from 23 groups within the National Guard State Partnership Program.
