We’re excited to share that Lynn Fisher, CEO of Applied Technology Academy, will be speaking at TechNet Augusta 2026.

Her session, “Immersive Cybersecurity Training and Cyber Ranges: Enhancing C2 Resilience and Counter-C2 Capabilities for Army and Joint Warfighting,” will explore how immersive, scenario-based cyber training and cyber ranges can support readiness in contested environments.

As modern Army and Joint C2 continues to rely on networked IT, communications, and data systems, mission-ready cyber teams need more than certifications alone. They need hands-on training that prepares them to defend, adapt, and operate under real-world conditions.

Tuesday, August 18
9:30–10:30 AM
Room: Estes A

We hope to see you at TechNet Augusta.
