Defending the DoDIN: Delivering Decision Advantage in Defensive Cyber Operations

May 14, 2026

Virtual / Online

AFCEA International
Defending the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN) requires more than collecting data. It requires turning that data into timely, mission-relevant decisions. As cyber, network and OT systems generate growing volumes of telemetry, many DoD organizations still face fragmented tools, delayed insights and limited operational visibility.

Join Major General Ed Wilson and Elastic’s Public Sector National Security Leader Sean MacKirdy for an executive fireside on modernizing Defensive Cyber Operations at scale with an Agentic approach to Security Operations. Learn how to drive greater unity across the cyber toolset, create a unified operational picture across IT and OT and support continuous mission assurance across hybrid and disconnected environments. Walk away with practical strategies to strengthen cyber defense and operate at mission speed through the deployment of an Agentic SOC.

Virtual / Online

Public sector IT teams are under constant pressure to deliver reliable citizen services while operating within shrinking tax-funded budgets. Legacy monitoring tools drive up costs through "per-node" taxes and force teams to manage disconnected tools, delaying critical response times during service outages.
In this session, we demonstrate how the Elastic Search AI Platform provides a single source of truth for logs, metrics and traces. Learn how to regain control of your budget by moving to a resource-based consumption model that supports mission outcomes without the "per-node" penalty.
On May 19th Elastic will discuss their Observability capabilities while diving into:
  • Search AI-Driven Ops: Reduce MTTR for critical citizen-facing applications using native Generative AI
  • Standardized Security: Align with EL3 maturity and cybersecurity mandates without proprietary lock-in
  • Budget Stability: Use the Ingest, Search and Store model to retain searchable audit logs for 30+ months at object-storage costs

Register now to leverage Search AI to unify telemetry across your entire state and municipal infrastructure.
