This Year's Focus Areas

Our 2014 agenda for FedCyber is shaping up and you won't want to miss it. Panels topics include:

Drawing on Jason Healey's Saving Cyberspace work, this panel will examine the challenges associated with maintaining an innovative an open cyberspace in an era when attackers outpace defenders, national security objectives contradict private sector initiatives, and increasing nation-state control of cyber-borders is the new norm.

Security experts often note that the Internet isn'tt secure as it wasn't designed for security, yet we continue to develop and adopt technologies at an unprecedented pace without addressing security design fundamentals. What are the current and future challenges associated with Internet of Things world when everyone has dozens of IP enabled devices in their enterprise, home, and on their bodies?

Many organizations have been reluctant to adopt machine-enabled defensive strategies for fear of algorithmic misfires with unexpected operational consequences. Has the time come to further empower the machines in the realm of network and host-based defense? This panel will look at the current state of the art in autonomous defense as well as the explore what the future holds for these enabling technologies.

This multi-dimensional panel will look at numerous cyber workforce issues plaguing the U.S. government and private sector. How do we address the hiring gap and what can we do to provide incremental training to elements of the workforce like transitioning Veterans to meet the pressing need for more cybersecurity professionals?
