Dr. Thomas Graham to Speak at AFCEA TechNet International 2026 in Brussels

From Compliance to Combat Readiness: Cybersecurity as a Force Multiplier in the Modern Battlespace

Session Date: June 9, 2026
Session Time: 16:35 – 16:50
Location: Event Lounge, Brussels, Belgium

Redspin is proud to announce that Dr. Thomas Graham, VP & CISO at Redspin, will be speaking at AFCEA TechNet International 2026, one of Europe’s premier defense and cybersecurity conferences focused on innovation, operational resilience, and emerging technologies in the modern battlespace.

In his session, “From Compliance to Combat Readiness: Cybersecurity as a Force Multiplier in the Modern Battlespace,” Dr. Graham will examine how cybersecurity has evolved from a traditional compliance function into a critical enabler of mission success, operational readiness, and information superiority across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

As military and coalition operations become increasingly data-driven and interconnected, organizations face growing pressure to strengthen supply chain security, support zero-trust architectures, and maintain resilience across globally distributed environments. Drawing on experience from more than 150 CMMC assessments across the United States, Canada, and Europe, Dr. Graham will share practical insights into how cybersecurity maturity directly impacts operational effectiveness and defense readiness.

Attendees will gain valuable perspective on:

• Strengthening supply chain integrity through cybersecurity validation programs like CMMC
• Enabling secure data sharing and zero-trust architectures
• Managing compliance across cloud-based and globally distributed environments
• Addressing challenges with external service providers and evolving DoD requirements
• Supporting AI-driven decision-making and coalition interoperability
• Aligning cybersecurity investments with mission outcomes and operational resilience

This session will provide actionable guidance for organizations navigating digital transformation while supporting advanced defense technologies and multi-domain operations.
