Cybersecurity is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation, but one that we as a government and as a country are not adequately prepared to counter. Spurred by the Administration, government is charging ahead to establish a front line of defense against today's immediate threats by creating or enhancing shared situation awareness of network vulnerabilities, threats, and events within the Federal government to act quickly to reduce our current vulnerabilities and prevent intrustions.

Using examples from the public sector, this panel will discuss why traditional secuity solutions don't protect your agencies from advanced threats, and how to keep pace with the current threat landscape.

Learning Objectives:

Understand how to assess and address your agency's current security posture.
Explain how to harden agency defenses with continuous monitoring to prevent zero-day attacks.
Describe lessons learned by agencies using threat intelligence.
Detailed discussion of how to keep pace with the changing landscape.
Review real-world example of threats to public sector organizations and recommend pro-active response strategies.
