Joint Service Academy Cybersecurity Summit at the United States Military Academy on April 8-9

In partnership with Palo Alto Networks, the Army Cyber Institute hosted the 2025 Joint Service Academy Cybersecurity Summit at the United States Military Academy. Over 200 attendees from DOD, government, industry, and academia discussed current cybersecurity across a range of topics, including partnerships, building secure systems, and resilience. Additional details are available in the separate SIGACT. The full agenda is available on the JSAC website.

What Does the Future Hold for Jack Voltaic Cyber Exercise?

With Congressional funding having run out for the Jack Voltaic critical infrastructure cybersecurity exercise, which has provided insights and affected the Army operations manual, Army Cyber Institute (ACI) leaders seek ways to continue the work, spread the benefits and make the lessons learned a way of life.

Command by intent can ensure command post survivability

In a changing operational environment, where command posts are increasingly vulnerable, intent can serve as a stealth enabler.

A communicated commander’s intent can serve as a way to limit electronic signatures and radio traffic, seeking to obfuscate the existence of a command post. In a mission command-driven environment, communication between command post and units can be reduced. The limited radio and network traffic increases command post survivability.
