While cyber security in the U.S. has improved in some areas during the last five years, the risks to U.S. national security and economic well-being are steadily increasing. A panel of leading experts from the public and private sectors will discuss the most pressing challenges to our national cyber security posture and debate what risks to address first, the international magnitude of the challenge, how that impacts us at home and what can be done to address the ever-evolving threats to our information systems and critical infrastructure.
This session is open to ALL conference attendees, including those that hold expo only passes. The event is also open to the media.
