Cyber Defense Goes Global

The 11th U.S. Department of Defense’s International Cyber Defense Workshop (I.C.D.W.) was held Nov. 6-11, 2011.

Dr. John Saunders presented two Distributed Learning Web-enabled workshops on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.

More than 200 people representing the DoD, international defense ministries, private industry, and academia participated in the Web-enabled workshops. More than 41 countries, plus NATO and Securing Europe’s Information Society were invited; 23 of these registered, and 20 were documented as participating in the workshop. The I.C.D.W. broke an attendance record with 226 individuals registered, plus those individuals’ team members who participated in the team challenges during the week.

An education and awareness activity for military cyber security practitioners, the I.C.D.W. is hosted by the DOD C.I.O. and held twice annually.
