How is the government securing information in the face of cyber-attacks?

 

OMB has mandated that agencies must implement continuous diagnostic monitoring by 2017 to assure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Federal information and systems. Hear from government leaders who will walk us through what agencies and industry stakeholders need to know about securing our nation’s technology. The White House - will discuss the memo; DHS - The management of the Program; State Department - Their real time experiences; and GSA - The acquisition vehicle.

 

We’ll explore:

  • How agencies are responding to cyber threats and securing their systems in real time
  • Tools in place to identify and respond to the risks
  • Acquisition strategies in the mix to secure our systems –DHS GWAC BPA in partnership with GSA - Continuous Monitoring-as-a-Service (CMaaS)
