Announcing the Morning Keynote: Eric Rosenbach, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Cyber Policy

Mr. Rosenbach is charged with creating, integrating, and implementing cyber policy in the DoD. He has also been leading the DoD efforts on cyber workforce issues and his keynote presentation, Addressing Cyber Workforce Challenges for a New Domain of Conflict, will cover the problems he has encountered thus far.

Join them for the Second Annual FedCyber.com Cyber Security Summit, a venue for our nation’s most seasoned cyber security practitioners to come together to work issues of common concern. Matt Devost, President and CEO at FusionX, and Bob Gourley, Editor at CTOvision.com, will moderate panels along with top security experts Bob Bigman, formerly CIA; Bill Cheswick; Bob Flores, formerly CIA; Jason Healey, Atlantic Council; Roger Hockenberry, CIA; Nick Lantuh, Cyber Practitioner; Tom Parker, FusionX; Retired Lt. Gen. Harry Raduege, USAF; Gal Shpantzer, Energy Sector Security Consortium; Richard Stiennon, Industry Analyst; Bob Stratton, internet security pioneer and technology entrepreneur; Michael Tanji, Kyrus-Tech; and Joshua Work, Symantec.

Government and industry speakers will discuss how policy-makers can accurately characterize cyber adversaries and learn to appreciate the nature of the threat through fact-based assessments and threat briefings; the state of cross-organizational information sharing; and the impact of emerging technologies on the state of cyber security, including Big Data, Cloud Computing, mobility, wireless communications, and embedded computing. Afterwards, seven firms with promising technology selected by FedCyber subscribers will be asked to deliver fast-paced ignite-style presentations on their capabilities in the Ignite-Style Tech Review.

Space is limited, so register now to attend.
