Face-to-Face Cybersecurity: IT Executive Insights: Strategies for Actively Managing Cyber Risk



It’s clear that cybersecurity concerns will dominate the IT landscape for the nation and the world in 2015.

 

Although Federal agencies have been focused on strengthening their networks, facilities, and data from cyber attacks for years, the aggressors are more capable, sophisticated, and motivated than ever.  Given this harsh reality, it is essential that Federal IT executives and their senior leadership have frank and open dialogue about their organizational risk profiles, data protection, vulnerable business applications, and the consequences and costs of not taking steps to defend critical infrastructure and information.


Despite the daunting nature for Federal security and management professionals, progress is being made.  Security automation is helping to eliminate routine mistakes, skilled professionals are joining the Federal ranks, law enforcement and cyber staff are collaborating  through trusted information-sharing environments, and innovative technologies are being developed to meet the challenges.


Register now to attend this popular annual briefing, held as part of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, to compare notes with your colleagues, consider the options to fortify your agency’s cyber profile, and take away practical, actionable information on the latest strategies and tools to manage cyber risk in the context of today’s reality.
