as well, and that's p-3, p-8, the helicopter detachments, vaq, single squadron in the seventh fleet. so they provide that visible forward deploy presence and deterrent value that rea sure our partners and give our leaders option to respond quickly if needed. look to the future of naval aviation. i think it's very bright. there's some challenges near term. get to those at the end. i think in the environment we're in, our resource sponsor, have done a great job in transitioning each of our platforms. so in every community, except for two hm, our airborne counter measures and our issue 60s that reply and provide or nuclear command and control and communications missions. those are the only two we're looking to sustain in near term.

everyone else in is in the middle of transition. the growlers are complete in their transition. they -- and as marine corps faces out of thunder prowler they're the only airborne attack we well have. they've been -- we've go some of those capables in the fast passion the electronic attack but you look at these airplanes have been operating in nell list air force base and alaska, our joint part north america flying f-252, f-35, clearly value the contribution of the growler. they remain in high demand and thing we have our next generation jammer, more formidable in the elect terror magnetic suspect truck. -- electromagnetic era. i've said before they're very potent combination as you fly

them in the carrier week for the antisubmarine and warfare mission. you partner those rome wyoming with -- romeos with the p8 and going by hawai'i each tee employment, those platforms operate together against our old forces as we practice, and those submarine commanders say it's very difficult to penetrate, get into the high value. so they're doing very well. the transition is halfway done. the false starts transmission, v-4 to whit whidbey island from him they're in their second year of deployment. publish 8 in the western pacific, delivering the new platform. operating in europe and had the first two-plane detachment in bahrain. they're doing a very good job as we prioritize those aors that need domain awareness. doing very, very good job

following the p-3. we have three squadrons transitioning. we're moving in the right desk direction. we had one deployment on teddy roosevelt, and then we'll move that squadron to japan next year. that will make air wing five in japan our most capable platforms and to the western pacific. much has been talked about with e-2s and the sensor sweep. the radar that brings unique capability for the counter air. that platform will be the quarterback for the air wing and the joint forces. but again we're also seeing some very significant overland improvements as the airplane flieses in conjunction with the air wing in fallon. legacy f-18s. five left in the navy. general davis has more on the marine corps side. very capable but we have some red e readiness challenges as we

stretch them beyond their 6,000 hour flights. we have talked strike fighter management over the years. we'll continue to do that for a few more years as we sustain the platforms in the navy side and the same thing for general davis. our ryan rhino fleet, the work horse of the force. i call them a four and a half generation aircraft, very pink partner f-35. orbited we mod concernize the rhino and keep them up to speed and queen it relevant, looking out toe 10 to 15 years they'll make up three-quarters of the strike fighters so it's important we do that. i've been advocating for more and look ahead to when that platform will reach its service life of 6,000 hours which is not too distant future so we have to plan for that. take a lessons learn from legacy and do that right so we keep them relevant and as part of the air wing moving forward.

using the assets when they're flying forward deployed and track that closely but we're put something hours on that part of the fleet and so we've got ensure we get that service life extension right. we shift into unmanned. the flying fire scouts for a while now, they just finished their initial deployment, partnered with romeo, and just send coronado out the door with the sierra helicopters partnered with them. lots of rotational plan. learning curves steep as we integrate man and unmanned. trident, unmanned air vehicles testing right now. that's progressing well and we expect our first orbit in the western pacific in 2018. mt25, stingray, our carure based uav that has evolved from u class a while back, we now into

the -- i think we finally got to mt25 out and just finish our final concept refinement. follows the request for proposals one out and those are back and we're looking where the trade spaces -- there's a tanker study, tanker trade study, that dod commissioned and it's getting at the design of the two mission sets we think that airplane will do. the tanker piece, mission tanking, think is its priority focus and then certainly in surveillance, and isr, a gap we need filled on the carriers. as i talked of those industry partners i realize those two platforms, two designs doing one of the other mission sets alone are different you. drive a high endurance north lot of fuel onboard but efficient, large wing span. if you're a tanker at range you have to be able to carry a fair amount of fuel internal to the platform. that drives a different design.

so industry is working on and we have done the same analysis. where that sweet spot is to do both missions, to be able to give mission at range and number of hoses required, et cetera. how big that platform on the ship which is a key attribute on the carrier, and then how many people it takes to run that detachment. so we have a way to go there but as our resource sponsors we need to get that to the fleet as quick as we can so we start learning about the man-unmanned and integrate that into the air wing. i'm encouraged i be and a nav ad accelerating the process, we need the isr, tank and assets to the fleet soon. f-35, i mentioned dw at sea with the dt3, which is the third and final deep. al test -- developmental test. the quads six pilots, maybe a few more than that. the test pilotters are going

now. we've got about 100 traps they flew out on the gw good if those 80% were three wires. snares unique things i'll talk about when we talk magic carpet and delivering capables to rhino. we have 30 aircraft total for f-35, a couple down in eggland, vfa125 and then start of the first squadron transition late in the fall so it's ready late '18. right now we're working through some challenges with operational tested. we'll be ready in the more. everything is on track from a training perspective to be ready to declare the f-35. the big concern is the 3f software. that is part of the ioc calculations. they're work that hard and i'm confident we'll get there they've have been up a couple of times, in fallon, a unique

opportunity to start that fourth and fifthgen, and flying with rhino and growler and we understand the -- put it together, active and passive sensors, and share that with other platforms, give us long-range combat where the true value in f-35. we learned as you start to operate the fallon quickly get past and beyond the boundaries of the range up there so air space and electromagnetic spectrum so we have to push the ability to practice the high-end mission sets into the virtual construction world and we broke just now completed a an air defers facility and run four integrated air defense exercises with our surface ship counterparts, super hornets and e2ds so we'll continue to

expand that in fallon and fleet concentration areas. i mentioned the number of three wires when they went out. this platform comes with the delta flight path capability, similar control we'll put into our super hornets with magic carpet. talked about in the away but that's were working for. the time onboard the gw they practiced in pensacola, and they were landing in the same spot on the runaway everyday, where the hook touches down, same spots. we had to fix the runway now. that's how precise the new system is. we bring it to super hornetes, magic carpet, the same kind of flight control logics. going to give us unique able to look at the way we work up and extend the norm of sorties in terms of bouncing. it will change the wail we operate around the ship given the majority of the force will

be rhino or growler and in terms of number of tankers you have to have up, daytime and nighttime, gives us a lot of flexibility in the air wing in terms of the way way use the strike fighters, and i think that will shape a little bit the discussion on mt25 as well with maybe reduction in overhead requirement but still needing the able to tank at range. last transition is the osprey, bravo. we just finished up two weeks fleet battle experiment on carl vinson, running that operation just like we would on deployment. ran them out of north island. very success. integration into those operations. we flew or c2 jump seat each of those events going out. they've watched the osprey operate and very excited about the platform brings to the air wing ask then as we got onboard this air boss and handler all excited about the with a they can use that integrated into our ops and they can that the future

on the delivery. that's a good news story how they worked up. i talked platform. the last thing i'll mention in terms of future peeveses i new carriers. ford is working through hope the it's sea in late follow, october, november, and then we'll deliver. working through the testing pieces right now, propulsion plant, combat systems, integrated flight deck. a few concerns with new technology onboard but i think in -- not unusual for first of class, and i don't think any of insurmountable. we'll get to operate during the sea trifles, do a post -- shakedown period after that. a couple different independent exercises and then get into a post shakedown availability and then begin her real operational tests tests and integration. eventually deploying in 2021. we can use her southeastern when i talk about the number of carriers but got a chance to tour her a few months ago and i can tell you've that the ship is coming to life.

i look around the flight deck, the design this layout, the way we intend to launch, recover, spot, arm, rearm, refuel, much more yvette. i'm excited what that brings to the fleet. look at the self-defense capabilities, the come bat systems on the platform. survivability we're building in, power generation capacity, awful good things. quality of life for sailors. very, very good news story there and like all of our carriers that will come with a 50 year life. the val you've of nuclear power i think gives us the opportunity to have lots of space available onboard for ordnance. and then like we have done and you have seen it in the recent -- in our history here, it will continue to evolve with that air wing over time. we've got ten right now. ford is our 11th. i need her in the fleet as soon as we can get her there. i have one in rcoa, the --

overhaul, one in docking availability, one up in japan all the time now so that's really stento meet the 2.0 demand for the pacific and eucom or centcom requirements so with a four to one, we're short. so i need four in the fleet. last thing for the future stuff, i talked platforms and it's key we continue those transitions, but there's sustainment that has to happen and then the weapons, sensors and the most important, the networks that have to be all part of that future air wing as we link it together. weapons in development bring us the ability, air to air surface to extend the reach of the air wing well beyond our air wings of the past, and i'm confident that what we're delivering and working on will give us that. key this long-range i.d. to i.d. at range, and that's where at the sensors and our integration with man, unmanned, joint, space, all domain, and the networks that will bring that information together and share it.

so, they'll be key, those networks to building battle space awareness to assure we can command and control those forces forward and then the most important piece, courts nateing the integration fire. so all of that done to a very robust and common network technology. >> i've probably again a little bit too long here. let me real quick -- i mentioned the two challenges and we can get to them in questions. it's really the ability to generated current readiness and recover readiness at the same time. mentioned the demand, probably supply of our forces is not sufficient to meet the demand right now, so i think in terms of recovery readiness and generating readiness that's our none number one priority in the naval aviation enterprises. then the biggest challenge is a budget pressure, fiscal uncertainty in the world we're in right now, and being able to prioritize the future capabilities with the wholeness

of the current force. and it shows in both the sustaining our aircraft and our carriers which are coming out of maintenance a little bit longer as we continue to operate them forward. in the recent past here. challenges are increasing and the funding is decreases. admiral davidson win on to the hill and testified with four of our major commanders about our ravediness challenges. representative forbes had a statement and said we're not providing the navy with resources to do what we ask, without burning out our ships, planes and sailors. couldn't have said it better than that. i reef loot that he encaps racing of our readiness challenges and i think the future of naval aviation is bright but but we have to work through the fiscal uncertainties and the nearby term readiness challenges, we're accepting risks in some of the parties of our fleet response plan, early

maintenance and then coming home from deployment and sustainment phase, the forces working up and on deployment have what they need to do the job rivered as we go forward and couldn't be more proud of the way the sailors are operating around the world today. so, i'll stop there and be ready for any questions. thanks. [applause] >> okay. thank you, admiral, for that speed definition of where you stand. it was very comprehensive. one of the things that comes up all the time is carriers and a contested environment. and there's been a lot of us and but i think there's agreement on a few points. one is that the enemy, the near competitors and their ability to muster anti-access area defense

denial is increasing. and especially in certain areas of the world they bring us bigger capabilities. also seems to be agreement in the near past, we've been operating in a fairly permissive environment. it allowed us to do things more easily. we could take up some of the slack just because of what we were being asked to do. now there seems to be agreement it's changed. can you talk about that and in addition talk about the fact that the carrier's vulnerable and the aircraft and the reach and composition of the air wing for the tasks at hand. >> so, this is a -- very much in the news and the discussions as you go back and forth about the vulnerability of our carriers. i'm confident with what, as i described what our resource sponsor has been doing with our platforms and the weapons that

we'll bring with the platforms and sensors and networks. marry that up with our carriers and the strike group as a whole. i'm confident we have in an class environment to talk about the ability to create the -- to maneuver in a contested environment, and create battle space to do what we need to do maneuver again and operate, not with impunity but with awareness of the risks out there. i often see the lines of the df21 drawn on a map and we give it a piece of -- it's going to work throughout this. that's very long kill chain as many have talked about. we have lots of things we do to disrupt that from all angles what we do to defend the carrier and make it hard to target. i think -- and admiral swift talks about this in his environment out there, if you're not maneuverable, you're not relevant. and so as i look around the force and how we operate and how

our strike commanders in seventh fleet, montgomery and alexander, they pray practice and operate na that environment i'm confident we'll be able to do is a describe. create sanctuaries where we need to operate. if i had a son or daughter in the navy right now, some someone said is it safe to be out in that environment, i'd say if the place where they're -- i have no problem with them being on a carrier. i'd be very confident anywhere a good spot because of the ability to maneuver, the capabilities we're delivering in an integrated air wing, ship and strike group moving forward. >> how about the air wing itself? you talked about the good place you're in with those two exceptions where you're entree does agnew model series. there is any rethickening about the capabilities inherent in those aircraft and the air wings that makes up any rethinking there or do we think we have it flight terms of capability and

reach of the air wing? >> i think as we -- we have what i talked about today we have -- that will be the air wing as well -- with what i laid out. the f-35 and mt25, the air wing of 2025 and i see it composition-wise, fairly similar to what we have today. i mentioned magic carpet. that will give us some opportunities to maybe bring on a few additional growlers, give up a few of the -- just the numbers. right now we configure between six and eight tankers on the ship. we don't need to do that many of our super hornets. give us some flexibility in strike fighter numbers, increase the growler numbers. then there's the man-unmanned team we have to get right and that's whyed said we need to get that to the fleet as soon as we can so that however that looks, start that manned-unmanned. learning to operate unmanned. and look for other televize take

advantage of that with other technologies out there, but i think from just the pure platforms, as i looked at 202 and beyond that, the composition guess. the weapons deliver us that expanded reach. when you fly out the ranges and maybe even do some refueling but out to the range of our platforms, and then add on a missile that gives us the ability to touch something well beyond what we did in the past. and again, the key piece is the long range combat i.d. and make sure we get that right. >> you mentioned the challenge -- one challenge that is current readiness and you didn't dispute congressman forbes' statement, and -- but you didn't endorse it either you said i think he's probably right. >> i think he's government it right. >> well, if he is right you hear lot of stories that kind of remind -- at least me of the 2000 time frame. we had the whole thing that got the naval aviation enterprise

going was this -- we had maintainers but working swapping engines, leaving the navy, and we were in a dive, and now today, you hear a lot of stories about 70%, the one quote from the marines, 70% of the aircraft they had on the ramp were not flyable, not ready aircraft. you seem to get the sense that at the operational level of maintenance, and at the depot level of maintenance, the maintainers are overwhelmed by the situation. so, what gives here? do you think that we need a new approach to that might involve bringing in different help and maybe the original aircraft manufacturers teams or also from the aspect of -- do we need to revest the strategies in do we have it right? >> well, we learned a lot in the

strike fighter management journey, as we managed our legacy f-18s. the main lines, the deep maintenance that's done to get those airplanes beyond their service life. that happens on regular intervals with owl all of our series, then the opportunity to tap ems, original equipment manufactures to help news terms of flightline repairs, things can't be done with our squadron maintainers. that's a great story in the f-18 world because we have dedicated teams. that is another line of effort and obviously the supply piece is all in the news. general davis talked about it. very much engaged with nav, sub, the leadership, the things that john and paul just left, just came in as our -- he does the wents system support but he and his team engaged in leaning

forward with obligation authority, working with owe ems to find alternative supports for parts. i mentioned general davis and i, the things we learned from the legacy hornets, we're applying across every series right now and be briefed the commandant tomorrow on a -- third brief and update on readiness recovery plan. the needles of moving, slowly, but i think we're -- i think we have the problem bounded and i think we've got the support we need in most cases from here in the city and then from our industry partners. >> i don't know how much you can share with us but if you could -- you think you have it about right bounded. if you could change something, what would ill be? just resources? hours in people?

more aircraft to fill the gap between hornets and f-35? what's the -- if you could change a couple things, what would those be? >> so, i think the first would be -- we talked at length about this, both -- general davis, readiness enabler account, it's resourcing. we obviously pay attention to the flight accounts because that directly translates into readiness but what we have season as we have come through the heavy use period and then recovering from sequestration, we have seen that we -- we're not able to fully execute those accounts and don't have sufficient airplane inside our flightlines to fly. a little more key for the marines, our risker is in maintenance are maintenance phase coming back from deployment. what is required -- there's if we continue to not flight -- it's a vicious circle other. accounts, the ones that fund depot maintenance and pay for

parts and fund our contract logistics support, that pay for parts and ability to get -- to buy ahead, those accounts and probably one of the key ones that is not a big investment out been ayre systems support to get to the readiness issues on our flight lines with people and processeses that allow to us nip things in the bud quickly. those accounts have not been resourced close to the requirement and we took a huge -- we dug a huge disvet in every one of them through sequestration, years we disinvested and we're still trying to dig out of that readiness divot we dug. those enabler accounts are critical. you mentioned buying more the piece for super hornets as we approach our first 6,000 hour super hornet, probably next year, we've got to make sure we get that right and we're partnering and working with

industry to look for additional capacity beyond our organic depos, and will have to do that but i think if leak what we a are, we can't afford to have rhino be at 50% of the fleet out of recording so we try to manage that. we have to keep that number down at a fifth maybe is our target. and so that's going to require both a combination offeror -- of organic and oem support. >> i'll open it up to the audience. can't ask you about readiness without this one alibi, which is you see reports and since 2009, there's been an increase in incidents in the cockpit of decompression sickness and hypoxia, a significant safety issue. can you tell us where we're at? >> absolutely. it is our -- inside the nave aviation enterprise, general

davis, and me, our number one safety item, focus. and we are -- lots of things we're learn here. we have engineers engauged, smart guys working on ways to better understand both our on board oxygen generating system, and the cabin pressurization has issues and we have adjusted the warnings in the cockpit, adjusted the emergency procedures we respond to for the various scenarios. we have been out to the fleet to talk about the -- how to test -- the maintainers work in maintaining those systems, test for the different failure modes april. ware nose talk to the pilot. we have remote oxygen breathing device and practice if we ever get an airplane and you dully good and simulator and practice degrading the oxygen and get a sense of what hypoxia is like. there's some con tam inhabits in the system we're still struggling with a little bit but the engineers are figuring out

ways to filter and identify that. and so i think we see an increase in the reporting. i think part of that i tied to an increase awareness, guys are coming back and we have said, there's nothing wrong with reporting this. we need to understand and make sure we understand all the failure modes. think we're doing a good job of that. paul and his team are working as fast as as they took get to solutions here. ... when you comply with those, i think it's manageable. guys are not comfortable with where we are. on either but i think when we fully get to the injuring solution, i think we have done

what we can from an awareness and emergency procedures in the fleet to be safe to operate our airplanes. >> thank you. i'd like to open it up. we have microphones, people on racial than. i ask that you ask the question and to identify yourself and we will start here. this gentleman right here. >> thank you. john hawke with national defense magazine. you mentioned some of the design challenges regarding unmanned aircraft that can form of the tanker and isr mission. to what extent you want the 25 our next-generation aircraft to a stealth capability and to what extent does that further exacerbate those design challenges? >> remember back to u-class, that was part of our initial design of the performance parameters that we were looking for was survivability.

i think through some strategic portfolio review that happened recently at depth sex levels, they identified a need for the tanking will i think mission to are the pays for it is most appropriate. i think in the latest round of things we have not stressed the survivability peace. if you look at the way you're going conduct mission taking you've got to push something out had to get on safety so you can launch other airplanes, get up there at range and takes. if you stand up by itself and it doesn't have survivability, you've got to make sure you know where your syndicate so it's not going to get shot down. if you look at where we have been with many of the initial industry partners there are some shapes the design already that help in the survivability. if his way to capitalize on existing designs in what we come

to in terms of, i will not call it a compromise situation but whatever it into being, i think there's ways to take advantage of some of the shapes already out there. i think if it was going to be the older u-class and the use that to be our eyes and ears for the striker, we don't want that, that survivability peace, stealth portion of the. article talked about stealth tanker, those two don't go together with np 25. that's something we'll continue to work and public default picked up for me to get to the fleet as it has so we can start practicing, integrated with the air wing and figure what best fits into a be into that support going into the contested environment. >> this gentleman right here >> scott, washington institute for near east policy.

when the air force pivoted to unmanned platforms, they had to solve new problems related training retention force management. what is the state of the navy pilot force and what challenges do you see coming over the next 10 or 15 years? >> specific to unmanned or just across the fort? >> in general it specifically to see any challenges related to the growth of unmanned iran's capabilities for the navy? >> let me start with where we see from a pilot perspective across the force. maybe retention period a lot of discussions in the paper about air force challenges keeping pilots around. as we have worked closely with our folks and monitored the state of naval aviation from a manic perspective, i think we don't have a shortage right now. we have come off, we had a retention trend where we peaked at about 2000. we have come off that all of that will we have interprocess, we still selectivity, equality

across the force as we move from junior officers to department heads to squadron co speak we are seeing at the initial decision point when men and service record is up we are seeing the take rate on the bonuses that will keep guys around, continuation day. that's trend down slightly. we are still in a place where we are in a good spot but veterans are coming down a bit. in the post command, guys leaving commit after squadron or living after squadron command, that's peaked and has my attention as well. there are some things in place those are starting to trend back to normal. the two i'm watching very closely, but across the force i look at this year and had to what we project for next you we don't see a shortage in pilots. there's same competing for the air force has. airlines hiring. some challenges i described to you in a squadron sitting for a long time in the maintenance phase you may not be getting the same flight hours as your peers are. that's frustrating for junior

officers. i think across the force we are okay but i'm clearly paying attention to those key trends. moving to unmanned, the way we are chosen in both fire scout and triton is to use kind of expand on the control, the community the own those. they are doing that, when they put the detachments forward to comish will do both fly helicopters into the unmanned. for triton will do the same thing, come from the community to operate the platform. unmanaged c. so sure -- will manage seashore. whether we create a community or try and do the internal qa community, given its isr may be tanking peace. that's why we're still working through but unlike the air force i don't think we will be where we will create and i may commit and potential challenges that

will come with that we are still working to those, that discussion. >> this gentleman right in the middle. >> good morning, ago. lucas tomlinson, fox news. there's been increased in price and naval aviation the past few years. would you call that a crisis? >> actually i don't called a crisis. if i go back 10 years of watch the trends in naval aviation, the overall trends are coming down. it was 2014 was not a great year for us. we've had a rash of mishaps. we went two-thirds this year with one class alpha. then we went, we had three in the span of eight days. it's hard to explain how we went two-thirds of the with one, same thing with three entities.

as i look back at those and then the last couple of years trying to make a tidy readiness or proficiency. in every case that's not there. there some other low-level mishaps, granulated mishaps where experience levels of folks may play into the as they're working on airplanes were moving airplanes around, but other that the trend and target, giving each of the commanders to get toward a target in 2020 from 14 to 15th where we are today. the trends for naval aviation is coming down. i wouldn't characterize it as a crisis. i get questions a lot, do you tidy readiness by lack of proficiency. in regard of mishaps we can't make that connection. the other procedural things, but not a drug tidy readiness impact. i think because we are focused very much on, when i mentioned at the challenges for

maintenance phase and taking out maybe a deeper bathtub, though squadrons are very proactive in how they manage risk until they are back up to a good level. >> here in the front. >> making with u.s. naval institute news. you talked about the issue of your pilots not have access to all the flight hours available to the lack of red aircraft. general davis has talked in specific detail about how that's affecting the divot commuters. i was one if you could characterize in more detail how those ready democrats are taking the different communities? >> i just had a meeting today secure with all of my community, doors and the update people on the apple as production and that the fleet squadrons are doing. i asked them to go by class six kat and getting a sense of where the in inane esss can once post-acute affected, what was up i was getting an average.

for flight time. i look across the force. the two most impacted by the airplane challenges are strike fighters and b-2 cq. in all cases, they were the lowest but it was all of them averaging between 12 and 14 hours a month in maintenance phase. that's global response before many space but it's about what we defined refused to answer tactical hard tactic not ideal but again can is that the average there are some that are down i and the public single-dit and some flight about that. squawking seagulls are managing it. but were jolted by the length of some of his squad for longtime city, they don't do the readiness lik likely to as parta fleet response plan model so i don't think we're in that, in that state i guess the readiness from that perspective. i watched the close of the i think i ever on the pilots, number of hours of flying but

right now if google will be target for maintenance phase but over time to a project, hard deck and the risks that go with it but our squadron sales are doing a good job managing it. >> over here on the right side. >> you mentioned me capitalization being about 50% complete. does navy have intensity recapitalize 62 or six in a will they continue with the piii? if they continue with the piii i would be considered under -- expertise in the face of a rising china windows squadrons finally have to sundown? >> great question. we work very closely with apple brain, mike crane is the commander naval air force reserve, and that's one of the conversations we've had with a resource sponsors back in d.c. what do we do? they been huge.

they have participated routinely in forward deployed attachments. a great active reserve. it's not in the plan right not to transition them. they will be used extensively i think as we finished the piii to pete transition on active side to fill some gaps in some of the key platforms are cheaper those laboring and will bring to the aor you just mentioned are but we are get and provoke what would we transition those guys? unlimited resources to absolutely. that would be the right thing to do so we can build that active reserve transition or integration for the community. i would across many of our communities but we are not in a position right now from the resource perspective. we are watching that closely. we'll need them around i think for a little while, still flying piii. if that's what we leave them in there get the best of the platforms invite good -- flight atheir place. does not apply to transition

them in the current environment. >> this lady right here in the front. >> megan myers, navy time. my question is, in terms of the osprey way doing to address some of the concerns benefit about its safety and also about its ability to get as much cartoon i can cargo? >> safety record, i'm not doing that in the fleet the early on we introduce the osprey, there were some growing pains. the marine corps is flying it and i think it's very happy with its safety record, its performance art i saw the same thing as their operating on the carl vinson. if you look at the cargo inside, it's slightly smaller and slightly smaller than what you can put in a cq. a couple few less passengers but the way you do the reconfig of seats inside osprey to give you some opportunity to do some

passenger cargo and quickly reconfigure that we didn't have in the c2, i think we put in the extended range package as part of the city b-22. it will be out in ct range comparable or even the on. out about 11 and 11 plus miles for leaks. i think between, we look at the specifically during the competence of capacity and cargo and i think although slightly smaller, it brings the ability to, to come out at night. so that was valued added. although we give up a little bit of people and cargo, i think the flex building on spring brings will be good. >> could you elaborate a bit on is there any surprises with the recent testing on the flight deck? specifically could you speak to be effective operating the aircraft on the flight deck and

the ability to generate the sorties? >> i mentioned airbus, really like it. probably the one guy that had some comments, he's got to bring an airplane in the in between cycles. what we found was we quickly learned how to do this. if you were not refilling the osprey you could get tax look in and out, done in 20 minutes. you can't leave turning for long. but we found both, we quickly as we learned how to operate it, determined we could do that in 20-30 minutes. a little over 30 minutes with cargo, easily tournaments if it's just passengers on and off. that's in between cycles. the big flexibility is outside of the flight days when you bring osprey up to the ships you

can do it day or night but you don't have to man up all the catapult and arresting gear folks. it takes about six folks to launch and recover osprey. it would take about 40 or so to ben bishop to bring in the cod. that's and unique operating benefits i think that come with osprey. the hammer throw, i think as long as we package the cargo in the right way and take advantage of the opportunity, maybe roll forklifts on and off, there's a lot we learned i think before we can do this quick, make it fit inside and really take full advantage of what osprey will bring. >> right here. third row. >> austan right with the politico. are you pushing for the navy to continue buying super hornets after fy '18? if so, should it be taken as a rebuke anyway to the f-35?

>> first question yes. i think as i look ahead to our ability to make sure as we modernize or do the service life extension on rhinos, and plan for a certain amount that will be out of reporting to get that maybe year-long process done to take them to the next flight our milestone and we're working through what that would be. even if we can manage it at 20 or 25 or 30%, we are still going to be, we will still accept risk to ensure squadrons have airplanes they need throughout the frp. and to do it all the way up until we are through this initial well into probably 2025. that gives us, we are utilizing rightist us i think that helps pay for some of that utilization as we hedge against the out of reporting numerous. that's a platform that will continue to modernize. as i said, i call it a 4.5

platform as we pair it up and partner with f-35. not to say we don't want, you actually need f-35 in the fleet as soon as we can get it. there have been some challenges. a little bit behind timeline. that's part of our legacy challenges right now but we will get f-35 to the fleet and when you pair the two together i think they bring a very good complement, it turns out if you call it a high low mix, my ballpark is super. we are in a pretty good spot. >> just and what inside defense. i wanted to ask about the next generation fighter research and develop a project. where does navy state and develop the requirements for the project and to what extent were you collaborate with the air force? >> work has been ongoing, in the pentagon and in 90 our resource

sponsored. in fact, that's a briefing given to bark when i go back with admiral miller. they are collaborating. part of, talked about whether that future platform is man on man, the valley of bringing unmanned to the ship come to the kerry and by the quickly and learning from the used tea. i think that will help inform the future of the next generation air dominance. then you ask would report with the air force. i don't know the answer to the. i know there's been some growing pains we did a joint program with f-35 and we start out with a lot of commonality. i think as a look at we have devolved into three different platforms your that's making life for the general to challenge. there are benefits of doing that and probably when we can partner we certainly will. will we've got to look at any capabilities for the carrier environment as replacement for our eventual super hornets, we need to make sure that we are

considering to as well. we are involved in a. i've not been involved heavily. i guess i will get an update tomorrow on where we stand to help shape that. we will build on that come all the things we have, all the attributes it brings plus i think what we learned from the manned and unmanned team. >> of the points? -- other points? right here. >> jack, unaffiliated. what about launch and recovery systems? how happy are you with which up to the and i would like to see the evolve over the next five to 10 years? a follow-up to be what you see carriers get bigger or smaller, special with regard to that launch and recover capability? >> what we have right now on our class, very reliable. i think they are doing well.

we have new technologies as you are well aware of we're introducing with the electromagnetic aircraft launching system catapults. that test has gone very good but we operated those on ship our, done the debt load shots into the james river. that's going i think very well. a little more concerning, challenges because unlike our legacy systems, with a property with two different essentially feeders for the rest of your wire, water twisters or drums that the rest of your cable is housed. the challenges of software, airplanes ensure we can have a recentering software for airplanes filling it with a drift or land off center. with the old block and tackle a so we did that for you a little bit, with a new separate containers if you will, that has

to be built into the software to do that. they're working through the right have i think it will eventually mature. it gives us the ability to launch probably a wider can a much lighter airplane and have airplanes. it allows us a little more space, a little more trade space as will bring a new platforms, manned and unmanned. so i think what i see in terms of advanced resting, working through some challenges but i think that would be, we'll be in a good spot. we obviously have a proven system on our name is class if we need to fall back. >> i think we're time for maybe one more question. this lady right here in the third row. >> hope with military.com. i know if there was a osprey the racially made a flight with a 3-d printed or added to the manufacturing part. i was just your thoughts about

kind of the full potential of the technology and how in the next five or 10 years it could change the game for naval aviation? >> it very much could and will. admiral has updated us on the recently, specific part, and they both chimed in on we've got to get there sooner faster and get to the but where will we are bringing the cost down for that part. where they did this, he said we're not to the point where it's making sense right now from what it calls. it's still about, he said between eight and 10 times more expensive to do it now. as we started it more often we will quickly bring that cost difference down. this will allow us both deployed on ships that one of those printers or carriers. then the ability to have that in our debt those around the world

to print as we need, point his weapon once on a much longer, maybe a bunker supply system. but tremendous capability and advantages of being able to do that kind of printing. we've got to get through complex all new technologies it will be expensive up front but we will quickly start to use it to see where we can make, take full advantage of what that brings in terms of supply support which is huge. >> admiral, thank you for your time today. i know your time is precious. terrific opportunity for this audience inside the beltway to get a chance to talk to you when you here and to get your perspective, which is truly different. you are having to make it happen and do a lot, not just future and planning activities, community management, but also the essential execution activities, and doing to talk about it altogether was a very

informative. so on behalf of csis, the naval institute, we thank you. we thank you for your time, and we also need to announce one more time our sponsors, like it martin in huntington people, without whom this program would not be able to be presented. so i can thank you very much.

infrastructure hosted this event. good morning. welcome. i am the president of government executive media group is my pleasure to welcome you today. i also want two-point out another thing that you head on your chair which is another event that we had upcoming produced by the government executive. it is a weeklong celebration of everything that is of interest to the feds and we will look at workforce, technology in transition as three real pillars and just

had a really weeklong pact with events. we hope you will join us for this event. a few housekeeping items, just so we can have your full attention take a minute to silence yourself on. i have already done that. however don't put yourself on the way. we want you to tell us how were doing and we wanted to be a lively discussion so send your comments and questions via twitter. this event would not be possible without the generous support of our underwriter adobe. they have also underwritten our experience summits. thank you so much to our friends to start things off this morning we are privileged to have trevor rudolph with us

this morning. the cyber and national security units. they are tasked with strengthening federal security in strategic policy implementation. in this role has responsibilities is advising the chief information officer on cyber security performance and the strategy and implementation plan and where the architects of action plan so please trevor rudolph

everybody in for sponsoring i jumped because i do see part of my role as been we are doing but to one end. what we that impactedour focus

on and suggest a they're

the president announced his plan with the budget last february and it is a combination of a number of initiatives that we think and

feel very strongly about that will help drive strategic change not just at this. so a lot of folks ask me what is it. if you go to the white house webpage you will see a fact page. it is a 19 billion-dollar sub security proposal which represents 35% increase over the previous budget year. it is quite substantial. another thing i like to mention to anyone who will listen it is very serious. it is tracking this almost daily and what it means for people like me a lot of gray hair.

we are frequently brought in to see people you may guess and ask about the progress of all of your initiatives. we expect all federal agencies to take very seriously as well. from a framing from a framing the task across the whole country. not just in our everyday life but also in the government. we expect those recommendations to come later this fall. kind of in the middle of the sprint. there were three systemic issues that we face in federal it and cyber security.

the first is the abundance of legacy it it is is frankly difficult to use. the management of it. folks know it's probably that. each of those agencies is making their own independent risk decisions at the headquarter level. and no one really has the enterprise wide view with the exception who sit at the center. they do have the authority if you look at that to say it you can't make that risk decision.

the workforce challenges that we have the statistic here is in the federal government weave a shortage of about 10,000 people to do the work that we have and then across the country i think the stat is 1 million worldwide. if you're in the job market now is the time apparently but let's take a moment to reflect. that is a framing as far as what it is. i want to take a moment to recognize a recent win that we head within the white house it's in the form so who in the crowd knows circular 130? it's a pretty good number. it is actually the foundational policy document

for how we manage information resources. it actually in a 130 it addresses all of those issues. as well as the workforce issues. this policy given how essential it is to have a the government functions it wasn't updated since 2000. prior to the update of this announcement. that is troubling. we will get into it in a couple slides here when you see what the old version actually told agencies to do versus what the new versions tells agencies to do. it's very long but worth the read i promise you. the first is the real-time knowledge of your environment as opposed to assessing the status of your system at a single point in time over once

every three years it is to have the continuous awareness. and then shared responsibility meaning it's not just on the operators but it's up to all of us including the deputy secretaries to actually get this job done. when you read the document i know we have some folks here you will see sections again about supply-chain threats and protecting against them. ensuring the terms and addressing security. as well as ensuring all agency personnel actually accountable for strong cyber security practices. let's talk about old versus new. it says the use of the system should be reauthorized at least every three years. the very next sentence actually says that should

create f3 ring winder that cost millions if not billions of tax dollars in ads debatable value at best. good news. this is the update. on a time with the agency risk tolerance. this is a move that they have done and frankly government was late to catch up in getting it published. it was more of a battle than it should've been. i think we can say goodbye to the three ring binders. into the industry that we created. very good news on that front. another sample for you the old version. the agencies should assure that each system appropriately uses security.

such as the proper use of passwords. think of that he said he wants to kill the password a dead when your policy document says something like that. a move to have strong identification. as opposed to the use of those passwords. to ensure that the identity is protected and only the right folks are accessing the information they should be accessing. the positive development there. it would encourage you again to go into more detail in a 130. with the first cake in the office and it was one hell of a celebration. let's hope we don't go another 16 years before the next update because it's so

important that we get this right. let's go a little bit deeper. i mentioned like i said. i know there was a lot of data out there but i will give you some highlights within the problem based upon the dashboard data that we have headcount that found that agencies are spending 71% or 36 billion of their it dollars to name legacy it. and then we found over five years they were 90% steady-state anger at an annual rate of 6%. investments that received those in fusions declined in declining cost by 5%. it's pretty powerful statistics. and so what were proposing

here is a 3.1 billion dollar front to help with this issue. we need some help with the other branch of government to make this a reality. only estimate is that that the 3.1 billion dollars with the one-time funding would address at least $12 billion in funding. that was cap elated with some very fancy cash flow analysis. i want to reiterate that if we don't get action this may not ever be a reality. and i will also say that we've received a great deal of bipartisan support for this initiative and we are encouraged but we have to keep up the momentum. if there's anything they can do to help to be advocates as well. we would greatly appreciate it. and then moving on towards that. i mentioned the fragmented governance of it.

in one context what it means as as a government we have not thought about our crown jewels as an enterprise. so what is it really want. why did they wanted. it was the high value asset effort. all of it is is the assets that potential adversaries are very interested in. let's just think about some of these examples appear. and why it would be so damaging of loss. to a nationstate or an activist group or you name it. the travel data think about how much is out there in terms of who flies and where they fly. as we know from the opm incidents the bulk collection that was used for a friday of reasons and thinking of the

dangerous consequences of someone getting a hold of that information is pretty startling. and then sensitive economic data that has catastrophic consequences if they were to be lost. the thing that's important to note for this group though this is not a one-time effort. it's not the federal government seen we had 20 high dollar assets. the fellow were talking about here. this was a never ending risk management for how to manage them as an enterprise. in so the process is very much underway for not just edification but the independent verification of the security of these assets and the ream remediation of the security around these assets. the process of identifying

those and prioritizing them and verified the security and remediating them will likely never end anytime soon and then there's a connection to the previous slide because what we will find that a lot of these cases is that the way to truly secure these assets and systems is to modernize them. and that's the theme you will see probably for the next couple of years from the white house on this front. so you can't modernize legacy it and you can't actually identify and secure your high-value assets without what , people. it will go back to the 10,000 person gap in the federal government. it's pretty startling the good news is for the first time ever we actually had a

workforce strategy across the entire government. in that we are turning four areas. they are identifying the need that sounds basic but actually much more difficult to do a crossed those agencies. until you actually know the full universe of your need you can't actually do anything about it. with the education and training. recruiting the nation's best for federal service and then to develop in the first half of this fiscal year we hired 3,000 professionals against the 10,000 number and we have to maintain that at the end of the fiscal year.

but as you know i would say we actually had to accelerate that base substantially to actually get ahead of the systemic issue. what were trying to do with the strategy and effort is to rethink the weight we do recruitment and retention. instead of a perspective going to 125 different websites not just opportunities the agencies but also learned about learn about training and career path and the federal government what we want to do is actually create a one-stop shop so that they can anxiously see everything the universe of what they could look like at the click of a mouse. you can't do that today and that's really what were driving towards another thing i think we need to reimagine is how you recruit as an enterprise.

they may have heard me talk about the fact the scholarship for service program which is sponsored by the national science foundation. if you go there today that's ray get all of the information. across the room not every single day actually compete against one another for talent. it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. what were doing is reimagining how we are going to recruit those folks. instead of having 12 agencies compete against each other they could get on a call before the career fair and say this is the need that we have a department ask we need a forensic analyst step. and then we actually have a surplus of that but we really need a pen tester tomorrow. they would know that going in

with other type of recruiting efforts and actually be able to work together to fill the need. thinking as a community is something we haven't done really in the space to the extent that we need too. i'm very encouraged if you have not read the strategy please read the intro and angle to 13-18 at the tactical level. they give you a better sense of what were doing here and it's frankly pretty exciting. so the next slide. we will open it up for questions. on what the next couple of months will look like. unless you live under a rock you know that we have a presidential campaign going on it's very exciting if you think about it so much of the success that we've have over the last year has been because we've have a deputy secretary

level retention i could be on the hot seat. nobody wants to be in a position. so the challenge is really as we move forward over the next couple of months is prioritizing all the work they were doing my teams focused on that so they understand the administration and how they are worthwhile and how they should be continued into the next one. probably under one or day two.

i'm giving them a detailed threat brief. of all the major actors out there over the last 12 to 16 or 18 months. and then showing them where the gaps are so they can put their stamp on it for the future. i think it's it can be critical if we can get these few steps right here i think will be a in a good position. frankly organ had to rely on highly skilled career staff to carry us through the retention. we will be counting on you and i appreciate the time thank you very much. i will pause here for any questions. >> earlier you mentioned three

particular areas you're looking to address. do you see one issue is most executed. what is the biggest threat quacks. >> that is a great question. i have a personal passion in the workforce area not only am i someone who comes and give -- gives talks to people like yourself i actually had hiring response ability myself. i built this team inside the white house. i've gone through the day-to-day challenges i'm just getting the position description posted on usa jobs. it can be a little frustrating. you can ask to put a put all of the qualifications you want. please reduce that to something that no one can understand.

if we can get the fundamentals right how are we can think about modernizing the legacy apps. however we can think about perhaps some legislative proposals that would help the fragmentation that we have across the federal government. i think that is the most important in my assessment. >> when you take cyber security 101 you learn about confidentiality integrity and availability but when you read the news reports and frankly most government reports all of the focus is on confidentiality because all of them has been when data has been stolen. we have to worry about data being altered and we certainly had to worry about attacks that make websites unavailable. in the last 24 hours we've

seen the australian census bureau was brought to its knees. by an attack. do you have a concern never to see more and more attacks? like the australian attack and do you worry that some of the data sets that were trying to protect could be hacked from the inside and just a few numbers altered but enough to compromise the integrity of that data and cause systems to lose in that. what are we going to do about that? >> is a huge concern of ours. i like the weight you framed the question because if you just read the news media it does appear that the emphasis i will tell you internal were worried about all of it. the opm cases we were concerned about all three.

i think what you will see and i did not include this in the prepared remarks but you will see a movement that you've seen in private industry for a long time now from that premier defense and you will see if you read that. about how we need to move in that direction. the cdm program continues diagnostics they are starting to think through what that means from the tools and capabilities simply to make those capabilities available to agencies. so that as we expand into later phases we are addressing the data level protection and you alluded to the inside of her as well. it is an ever present concern. maybe the most difficult threat to address frankly. and one that i don't think we have really cracked federal or nationwide. and lots of dedicated time to

that in the next demonstration as well. >> good morning. thank you for coming and talking to us. you mentioned something i think really resonates. in this particular case supply chain and as you look at industry and the government both sectors are on the constant attack. but there seems to be a challenge between the need to know versus the need to share information so that you can actively mediate across the spectrum's. so in that vein how do you see industry partnering better with government. with the need to know and need to share. but sharing best practices so we can fix this together. that is a tremendous question. one i would admit that we haven't closed the gap in the way that we need too. i would say over the last couple of years. you will see some guidance coming up speaks of this

particular issue. it's always been out for public comment. i can talk about it to a certain extent. and we will talk about that partnership between industry and government in terms of what we can share what we can't i think the cui rule is going to help a lot. we need to roll it out and get it implemented. at the base level i think it comes down to trust in relationships between industry and government. having a pre-existing working relationship can help. but having a policy framework in place to actually facilitate that trust is a big piece and a big missing piece of the puzzle. i hope that we can fix that in the near future. >> you talked about the

itemization fund can you comment on that versus the other legislation that's out. it was introduced a couple weeks ago and where your viewpoint is on that in your perspective what is more viable. we won't know that and if i can steal a second question which is just what we talked about with opm what might that look for. you commented about the challenges of just putting out a job description. the first question i actually can't speak on that one we haven't have an opportunity to fully review the particulars of the legislation it would be premature for me to contact at this point.

the second one is you mentioned a partnership as far as addressing the workforce challenges. and what we have done is we've actually set up a steering committee or working group across all of that workforce practitioners and others to work collaboratively across fully across the federal government to impact the strategy i referenced earlier. one example is this is also public information. they had developed this tool to actually generate descriptions it is really powerful and a method just not everyone knows about it.

sharing that across the federal agencies and getting broader adoption i think is going to be key we also have an opportunity here to actually trumpet a lot of these initiatives into work a and to work better across federal agencies but that particular working group has been meeting pretty regularly and i will get a briefing on that next week. i'm very encouraged and that type of cost -- cross agency that type of cooperation is frankly what is needed to succeed in this area. i'm very encouraged. earlier you mentioned one of the goals is to secure top talent it seems like people

are going into the apples of the world and not really looking at federal government do you have any suggestions for how to improve this and how to actually attract them. >> first answer is all of the suggestions that i would have her in the strategy. we spent a lot of time brainstorming that over the last year. i'm very pleased with where the strategy is. on a more basic level i would say that as a government we need to stop thinking about hiring cyber professionals as just people who work in the operation center who just head a programming background. we need acquisition professionals. we need leaders who actually understand cyber security as well.

we should think about hiring intellectual athletes who just a really good employees and they want to learn. and then train them up in the space. make a long-term investment in them. i think we will have some success in that area. i would also say we are making some inroads on how we compete for young talent. against the private sector and the reason we are making some progress here is because i promise you this no one really in the room has a better mission than the federal employees. think about the assets that we are protecting. it's a kind of the kind of stuff that gets me off the couch. and that is what we want to say to these senior employees

and you're trying to get them into government. we've have a lot of success with the digital service group and other groups around the government and i think when you keep pushing the message -- the mission message we will be successful. thank you guys for the time. i appreciate it. [applause]. thank you so much for that great hesitation. he is the technical director of security solutions at adobe systems federal. he has has more than 16 years of experience with adobe he has been responsible for managing the line of security solutions as well as a security of adobe acrobat. now at federal he is

responsible for security solutions across the public sector. please help me enjoy and join me in welcoming him to the stage. >> thank you. can you hear me okay if security if gray hair as a badge of honor for security imac and talk about car hacking it's all the rage when i can talk about that today. we are gonna talk about defense though in our talk. to do that let's take a little walk down the security lane.

see what you remember on our stroll down the security lane. 1995 who are members captain crunch. john draper pulled a whistle out. it gives him long distance access to the phone networks. the first morris worm in their card -- occurred back then. fast-forward to 2000 that is not a typo. they have a very strange sense of humor. to get on your system and turn on your microphone in your camera and spy on you. how much fun can that be. three little words and looks like a text file you click on it itself replicates you end

up e-mailing your friends and it goes on and on. it was a big disaster on our internet at the time. but what kills me and this is where education is key that only a few weeks later do we remember in a comic over. it was the same model this is what we have to get good at saying really? guess i'm in hope that prince from nigeria. you can to say really. so the bill dates decree. it's pretty amazing. he said no more we are

focusing on security stop everything else. at that that was a pretty cool time. paris hilton got hacked. we do start to see those. things of this nature. i am glossing over the acrobats because i promised i would take off my marketing hat today and put on my industry evangelist hat. there is a g packet that pack that happened in 2015. it was really popular this year. an interesting one here i do want to talk about is something called the eye kettle hack. who's heard of this.

it is a kettle in england you can put on your wireless network you can remote control your teakettle now you don't even have to get off the couch. just turn the sucker on from the couch. what was interesting about that i don't want to make fun of that. is that there is a hack you can send a command to a. you can get it to cough up a password. they can get on your wireless plan. what's the point of all of this? attacks they evolved and mitigations evolve. and they're gonna get on her networks. we're going to try to keep them out. we started with fireballs to firewalls to try to keep them

out of the network we were talked about assuming the breach. falling back with yet another layer of defense. protecting the actual data. we can talk about three solutions today. it is probably the worst name ever given to a technology. it have a lot of bad baggage with it. i think three really important points to get across as you look at drm solutions today in the market the first thing to realize is it is operating on the data layer you are encrypting the document when you see it sitting on the

desktop. you opened it up and scrambled eggs there is no understanding. there is no attacking that file. we will attack with other angles. it stays encrypted no matter where it goes. put in your e-mail. we don't care. the client is can have to figure out how to get a decryption key. and they are tied to a server. to go against themselves. to see if they can get it or not.

what you get from that by tethering the solution like this is you get an dynamic capability. it means i could view it today but maybe i'm not allowed to view it tomorrow. i could change permission in those kind of things. also because her tethering back to a server you are getting it's very much about continuous monitoring today. so not only should we be continuously monitoring our networks but our documents as well. who is opening them when are they opening them from what ip address are they opening them. that gets pretty interesting. those are the key factors in the solutions is a perfect no.

nothings perfect we have encrypted something with a very strong encryption is at second happened at least in our lifetime. the attack things like authentication. if you're using passwords and someone is sharing a password that could be a problem. that's where smart cards are nice. what can we do, let's talk about another mitigating factor. as they come back we can do some analytics on the document interaction events.

what would be interesting to look for if you just open document in the dc area and then a minute later open the same document or another document in eastern europe that seems interesting. steve you can't access that document anymore. someone has probably still in your credentials. maybe steve tends to print ten documents a week or maybe in a short time span. send an alert to the security. let's go see what's going on.

i like your question. i've been talking about confidentiality and as high-value assets in your organization and encrypt them at the data level so you can maintain control over them. so if someone does go into the content management system and grab a document which they had access to and they turn around and e-mail it to a friend or they get hacked at their computer and they you -- lose that document it's gone. but if it is encrypted and you could have an encrypted document sitting there it's just encrypted blog. they go to open it they have to try to decrypt that

document at the application. that's about keeping secrets and keeping your document in your data secrets. integrity. no one ever talks about it. they are one of the greatest things ever. we don't even realize it. when we got a website that has that. how do you know you're going to your bank's website. you just trust the url that you typed in. it's backed by a certificate that's where that came from. as it's a digital signature. how do you know to run some code on your computer. and you get a little warning. this is coming from an unknown source. you can integrity and authenticity is the originator

and hasn't been altered in transit. you can do this on documents as well but if i get a pdf if i get a document i can see who it came from who signed it and if it has been altered. if someone changes one pixel it will break the signature and it will have a big red x on it. what's a good place for it? on the transfer. that's a nice thing to be able to say. i did not like this. excellent send it off to my potential employer. they are starting to digitally sign their transcripts before they release them.

if someone tried to alter that it would give me the red x. this thing has not been altered since it has been signed. the government they printed everything on paper. they have moved to electronic delivery with the government office now. they signed their documents the budget is up there. imagine getting up and it with the changed values on it. my friend set me up for this. again it's more about integrity than the

authenticity of documents. so the solutions. we've had the fallback with additional layers of security. we can put it mitigations on the data itself we can encrypted we can monitor it and inlays it with our engines and then we can also protect things like integrity of our data i had blubbered on enough. i will throw these up that you might be interested in. are there any questions.

all right. thank you. [applause]. and now it's my pleasure to introduce our esteemed panel frank why don't you just head everyone start to come up for the panel. while they are doing that i'm going to introduce them we have the principal director and deputy cio at the department of defense. cheryl moderating today's event is our own frank conkle. i also want to take this opportunity to thank you all for attending today. and also adobe for their gracious support of today's event.

with that i'm gonna turn it over to frank. i will introduce our panelist quickly. although i kind of just did. and then you can talk about yourself does a little bit before you get started. i'm the chief information security officer. i will tell you all of our systems get looked at centrally before that i actually spent quite a bit of time. i think we met each other for at least 15 years.
