Red Hat attended AFCEA West 2024 on Monday, February 12th in San Diego, California. The premier naval conference and exposition on the West Coast, WEST was in its 34th year of bringing military and industry leaders together. Co-sponsored by AFCEA International and the U.S. Naval Institute, WEST was the only event in which the makers of platforms and the designers of technologies could network, discuss and demonstrate their solutions in a single locale.

As the Department of Defense (DoD) moves to modernize its widespread resources, getting to mission capability faster is increasingly dependent on IT security. Red Hat has the open source technology and expertise to partner with the DoD to innovate with agility, standardize interoperability across all branches and agencies, and still maintain a high security protocol.
