Why Should you Attend the Symposium?
Improving identity management is a critical step towards improving national security as well as increasing the efficiency of Government internal operations. Biometrics has provided DoD and Federal Civilian Organizations with dramatic advancements in capacity to identify threats, reduce costs, and target valuable resources where they are needed. When combined with other tools and technology, biometrics forms the basis for holistic identity management. This critical next step represents an evolution in the US Government’s ability to inform decision making.
The symposium will provide valuable information on efforts from the policy and operational communities on how the US Government plans to integrate biometrics with other tools, both existing and in R&D to support defense and homeland security operations and improve the efficiency of Government organizations.
DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits’ content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the community from operational leaders, the R&D Community, key policy-makers, as well as solution providers from Industry and Academia. Our non-partisanapproach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
Key areas this symposium will address:
-
- Capability requirements from DoD and DHS to provide industry with R&D priorities that meet Government needs
-
- Technology that provides improvements in biometrics capabilities
-
- The integration of biometrics with forensics and other emerging capabilities to improve identity management
-
- Road map for long term identity management concepts and goals
The Symposium will bring together senior level officials from the DoD, DHS, and Private Sector, specifically the policy, operational, and R&D organizations responsible for improving National security.
