10:00 – 10:20 am  Keynote: A Look Inside Threats To Our Critical Infrastructures: Preparing For The Next Attack

Electricity, internet, gas, and water are of paramount importance in our everyday lives. Our dependence on these resources is particularly evident during even brief outages. To date, cyber attacks against critical infrastructures have been extremely sophisticated and unique to the nation-state actors often behind these incidents. In this presentation we will challenge this perception, showing that there is a common evolutionary path amongst the U.S., Russia, Iran, and North Korea that applies to any other nation-state targeting critical infrastructure. We will also examine the types of vulnerabilities and attacks used to target critical systems, the complexities of securing these systems, and how organizations need to approach their security moving forward.

• Charles Carmakal, Vice President, FireEye’s Mandiant Consulting

10:20 – 10:50 am  Inside the Latest Emerging Cyber Threats–Tackling Spear Phishing, SCADA Vulnerabilities, Ransomware, and IOT

Cybersecurity is evolving so rapidly that today’s major cyber breach or attack quickly becomes yesterday’s news. By September 13, the date of the conference, CISOs will undoubtedly be facing a new set of cybersecurity challenges.  Hear this panel offer their insider perspectives on the cyber challenges and what looms on the horizon. With the explosion of IOT and mobile, the attack surface is growing; the attackers are growing in number and sophistication; and the threats are evolving.  Hear leading experts in government and industry as they give you the most up-to-date information and analysis so you will come away better educated to respond.

• What threats are facing you in your organization on September 13?
• What are the evolving and emerging dangers?  
• What prevention techniques are needed?

11:10 – 11:25 am  Transition to Breakouts

11:25 am – 12:10 pm

Breakout 1:  [CDM] CDM:  How Government Can Leap Ahead and Industry Can Benefit in FY 2018

Ballroom A, Level 3

A convergence will take place in 2017 & 2018 that has been long awaited:

• US government funding and contract mechanisms will be available for Departments and Agencies to procure cybersecurity solutions under CDM,
• Innovative private sector solutions could greatly increase the cybersecurity sophistication, while reducing the management complexity, of government systems.

CDM, now in its 4th year, is aimed at safeguarding cyberspace and protecting the cyber infrastructure of the civilian .gov network environment. The CDM Program moves away from historical compliance reporting toward combating threats on a real-time basis with state-of-the-art tools. This panel will examine the future of the CDM program and how industry can play a vital role.  

Moderator:

• Susan Wilson, Director, Cyber Solutions, Cyber and Intelligence Mission Solutions Division, Northrop Grumman Mission Systems

Breakout 2:  [NIST] Your Deep Dive in the NIST Framework: Best Practices and Lessons Learned 

Room 143 A-C, Level 1

As the government moves from a compliance to a risk management-based cybersecurity system, the NIST Framework is central.  With the deadline for the agencies’ reports for the NIST Cybersecurity Framework due in August, September will be an important time to assess various agencies’ progress as they look to FY 2018.

• What best practices and lessons learned will Federal and state government CISOs have to share in measurement and customizing the Framework for their organizations?
• What challenges lie ahead?

Breakout 3:  [Threat Intel] Beyond Information Sharing to Shared Threat Intelligence: Best Practices and New Models from Government

Room 144 A-C, Level 1

Cyber threat analysis is coming into increasing prominence as a recognized component of a comprehensive cybersecurity posture.  However, ‘cyber intelligence’ continues to have multiple definitions and support multiple missions.  This panel will present perspectives on this emerging field from government officials who support cyber threat analysis within the homeland security, law enforcement, military, and intelligence community mission areas.  These thought leaders will talk about the supporting strategic and tactical requirements and their respective communities’ relationship with the private sector on threat intelligence, providing actionable ideas for improvement.

Breakout 4:  [Endpoints] Endpoints Don’t Have To Be The End Of Network Security 

Room 140A, Level 1

Endpoints are unquestionably the most vulnerable areas of most networks: A. because attackers now have a vast array to choose from and B. their security often relies on easily avoidable upgrades by an overwhelmed user.  As such, endpoint security and threat detection are more critical than ever, as the perimeter becomes obsolete and ‘all things connected’ escalate attack vectors.  How do you mitigate endpoint vulnerabilities that seem to grow like wildfire? Hear industry security experts share suggestions, successes and failures we can all learn from.

Questions to be addressed:

• How are industry leaders addressing the cybersecurity challenges posed by the Internet of Things?
• How best can the endpoints be secured as more is moved to the cloud and as mobile advances?
• What are the industry trends and the threat vectors across all segments?
• What recent endpoint attacks should you be aware of?
