Engineering Resilience: Antifragile Systems and Model-Based Approaches for Robust Platforms
As the complexity of modern systems continues to grow, so does the importance of ensuring their resilience and adaptability. This session delves into the design and development of antifragile systems through the lenses of Platform, DevSecOps, and Systems Engineering.
Attendees will gain insights into how MBSE can drive more effective decision-making, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement throughout the software development lifecycle. By embracing these techniques, teams can enhance their ability to anticipate, respond to, and learn from the challenges posed by ever-changing environments.
Through real-world examples and case studies, attendees will learn how to leverage antifragile principles and MBSE practices to build more robust, adaptive, and secure systems. The session highlights the critical role of cross-disciplinary collaboration, fostering a culture of innovation and resilience that empowers organizations to excel in an increasingly complex world.
Securing the IoT Supply Chain
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly transforming the way we live and work, with connected devices and systems becoming increasingly pervasive in our daily lives. However, the proliferation of IoT devices also presents significant security challenges, as these devices often have limited processing power and memory, and are deployed in a wide range of environments with varying levels of security.
To address these challenges, organizations need to adopt a platform-based approach to IoT development and deployment, which integrates security into every stage of the development and delivery process. This session will explore the key principles and best practices for securing IoT devices and the platforms supporting them.
Through this session, attendees will gain a clear understanding of the key principles and best practices for securing IoT devices and systems using a platform-based approach, as well as the tools and techniques that can be used to implement this approach in practice.
T-Minus 24 Hours: From Source to Spaceflight in a Single Day
When the mission is launch-critical, time becomes a tactical asset. In this session, you'll learn how Defense Unicorns' Unicorn Delivery Service and NixOS work in unison to deliver secure, fully declarative software—on-prem or in disconnected, degraded, intermittent, and limited environments—in less than 24 hours.
What began with a record-breaking delivery for the U.S. Space Force at Cape Canaveral evolved into a new paradigm of software delivery that spread department-wide like wildfire. Operational timelines of critical-software used by warfighters are no longer measured in weeks or even days: it's hours, and soon to be minutes.
Join us to see how "T-Minus 24 Hours" isn't aspirational—it's operational. Learn how this approach is transforming the way we deliver trusted, resilient software to the warfighter at mission speed.
