A 360-Degree View of Federal Network Security

Protecting data on government networks is a critical component of our national Cyber Security strategy.  Indeed, the Administration’s drive to strengthen Federal cybersecurity calls for a re-examination of government’s legacy approach that requires every agency to build and defend its own networks.  Agencies concerns range from the use of encryption to the data explosion from the Internet of Things.

This briefing will draw upon government thought- leaders to explore their approach to integrating network security into their overall plan, and the techniques, tools, and capabilities they are drawing upon to secure Federal networks.

• How agencies are preparing for the explosion of data through the Internet of Things.
• What strategies CIOs are employing to decrease the cost of network security.
• The obstacles or potholes impeding securing networks in the future.
• The role of software defined networking play in agency plans.
