Outrunning the Storm: Cyber Resilience Lessons from the CIA’s Digital Transformation
When nation-state adversaries move at machine speed, standing still means losing. In this candid fireside chat, two former senior CIA leaders - one the Agency’s former Chief Information Security Officer Rich Baich, the other, its former Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Jennifer Ewbank - share how they transformed one of the world’s most targeted organizations. From defending against the most sophisticated threats to integrating cyber offense, defense, and data science, they’ll reveal hard-earned lessons on leading high stakes change, building elite cyber teams, and outpacing the most formidable adversaries in the digital domain.

Operation Doppelgänger: Inside the New Age of Digital Deception
In this keynote, former CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Jennifer Ewbank takes the audience inside the adversary’s playbook—where darkweb marketplaces sell synthetic identities and deepfakes are the ultimate forgery. Drawing on exclusive insights from advising dark web monitoring and deepfake detection companies, she reveals how modern deception mirrors Cold War spycraft, now weaponized at machine speed and scale. Attendees will leave with a field-tested framework to detect, disrupt, and discredit synthetic attacks before they erode the most critical infrastructure of all: trust.
