Industry Based Broadening: Information Environment
Information Environment in the Private Sector
The Institute for Defense and Business’ (IDB) one-of-a-kind program is designed for high-performing individuals in the Department of Defense—civilians and military— directly associated with operations in the information environment. At the Industry Based Broadening Seminar for Information Advantage (IB2 IA), you learn how information advantage functions in the non-military world. You are introduced to the cultures of the organizations that compete in the information environment, and the technologies for securing information infrastructure. We leverage a variety of non-military perspectives from experts in the private and voluntary sectors, government, and academia on topics including big data, the internet of things, and understanding cognitive behavior. Subsequently, you will return to your organization with industry best practices for immediate direct application.
