Cybersecurity not only poses a problem for our nation’s defensive capabilities, but it also affects every aspect of our modern lives. Our dependence on information systems, and our interests around open networks, has made the nation vulnerable to cyberattacks and cyber crime. We live with a permeable and interwoven cyber interface that relies on private responsibilities to protect national assets and critical infrastructures. How are we preparing to face this issue not only today, but in the future? Is there any good news? Converged security, a joint presentation with Bob Schlotfelt and Bill Britton, will discuss examples of answers to these questions.
