Event Title
IPB in Cyber Space

Date
Thursday, 3 April 2025, 1300-1500 hours ET
All 2025 Cyber Talks will start promptly at 1300!

Speaker:
Westley McDuffie – IBM Senior Systems Engineer

Event Description
In modern cyber warfare, Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) isn’t just for kinetic operations—it’s essential for securing networks. This talk explores how military-grade IPB methodologies can be adapted to cyber defense operations, enabling structured reconnaissance, proactive threat detection, and strategic response planning. By applying these principles, cyber warriors can anticipate attacks, identify vulnerabilities, and maintain control in contested digital environments. Through a disciplined approach to network intelligence, we reinforce data security, ensuring that what’s ours stays ours.
