NOAA IT Security Conference

A 2018 World Economic Forum report warned that the three top global risks to society, by likelihood, are:

• Extreme Weather Events
• Natural Disasters
• Cyber Attacks

No US cybersecurity division deals with this tricky trifecta daily, except for the exceptional team at NOAA. Covering from sea to space, NOAA provides minute-to-minute data about the conditions of our oceans, our major waterways and our atmosphere. And to do it without any interruptions, they rely heavily on a secure and resilient global network infrastructure.

So that NOAA's Cyber Security Division is prepared for every worst-case digital scenario, their Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) hosts an annual NOAA IT Security Conference. This year's event - held Monday, June 24th through Friday, June 28th - includes briefings from various NOAA components and industry leaders. On Wednesday, June 26th (the main Security Day), there will be a cloud migration panel discussion, an impressive speaker lineup and a vendor meet and greet. Exhibitors may attend the sessions on June 26th only.
