What's on the white boards of leading thinkers in the US government tackling some of the biggest cybersecurity problems facing the Pentagon and intelligence community? Get a sneak peek at Passcode's event on the future of research in the Digital Age.

Arati Prabhakar, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency director, will outline some of the biggest cybersecurity challenges facing the nation – and the technologies DARPA is developing to address them – as both the public and private sectors face increasingly complex threats. 

Separately, senior officials will discuss strategies to move cutting-edge research out of the lab and into the real world to make an impact in the rest of the US government and private sector.

In addition, join us at Passcode's research pavilion to see live demos of companies' and agencies most engaging cybersecurity research.
