AbstractA rapid, fundamental shift has seen defence agencies become increasingly reliant on information systems to provide capabilities across all areas. However, as IT grows more sophisticated and complex, so too do the threats.
For the first time, brand new models for attack and their consequences will be revealed to the public domain from the authors of the Borg & Bumgarner study, due to be released by the US Cyber Consequences Unit (USCCU), an advisory group of the Department of Homeland Security. In addition, top industry experts will disseminate information regarding the latest technologies for various elements of information security such as identity assurance and cryptography.
SMi’s Inaugural Information Assurance and Security Conference offers military and commercial IA practitioners the opportunity to gain an insight into the key strategic and technical challenges faced when attempting to create safe infrastructures, integrate domestic and military networks and instigate transnational information-sharing.
The event will provide a unique opportunity to:
- EVALUATE national information programmes and developments in national cyber defense capabilities
- LEARN from the knowledge and experience of NATO, US EUCOM, US DoD, and UK MoD
- NETWORK with your peers in the industry
- FORGE relationships with potential business partners
- WITNESS technical demonstrations of the latest information assurance software
The expert speaker line-up includes:
- Captain David Simpson, Deputy Director, C3 and Warfighting Integration, EUCOM, US Air Force
- Dr Gert Retzer, Director of Command and Control Systems, NATO C3 Agency
- Mark Hall, Director, International Information Assurance Program (IIAP), Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), USA
- Michael Coomes, European Coordinator, International Information Assurance Programs, US European Command (US EUCOM)/J9, Department of Defense
- Scott Borg, Director and Chief Economist, US Cyber Consequences Unit
- Ferenc Suba, Vice-Chair, European Network Integrated and Security Agency (ENISA), Special Envoy of the Minister, General Manager, CERT, Hungary
- Ricardo Sibilia, Head, Command and Control Laboratory, Science and Technology, Swiss Army
- Jeffrey Bialos, Executive Director, Transatlantic Security and Industrial Programs, Johns Hopkins SAIS
