The conference will feature panels with these and other leaders from across the cyber community. These panels include:

  • Where the magic happens: The next generation of government cyber operations centers: What kind of successes are civilian agencies having with their cyber operations centers? How widespread will they become? Do civilian agencies need to have the ability to hackback?

  • Is there anything new here? The evolving threat environment: With a renewed focus on China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, what should government and defense leaders expect from those countries?  How can officials overcome simple human error?
