We are under attack, and we may not know about it until it’s too late. Over the last 10 years, almost on a daily basis, cyber criminals have been mounting attacks against government agencies and private industries, exploiting the same technologies and interconnectedness that have streamlined business and made life so convenient for consumers. Vandalism, fraud, identity theft and corporate espionage carried out by gangs of tech-savvy intruders are siphoning more than 100 billion dollars out of the economy annually. But it’s the threat to national security that has really gotten Washington’s attention. The burden of safeguarding sensitive data and computer networks falls on government agencies, organizations, users and administrators alike; and while securing systems from cyber attacks may be expensive, the cost of doing nothing is greater by far.
Highlights:
- Which threats to cybersecurity should government and private industry be most concerned about?
- How can both government and the private sector determine which data to secure, and at what level, when there is so much of it and not all data are equally critical?
- Nine out of 10 chief information officers and chief security officers see cybercrime as a major business risk. Are organizations giving the priority to cybersecurity that they should?
- What exactly is a cyber mindset, and how do we get from here to there?
Guests:
- General Harry Raduege, (USAF, Ret) Chairman, The Deloitte Center for Cyber Innovation, Deloitte & Touche LLP
- Amit Yoran, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NetWitness Corporation and previous director of the National Cyber Security Division of Homeland Security
