Cyber practitioners in the federal sector have always needed better ways to collaborate and coordinate and have always been on the lookout for new ways to address challenges. But this year it is especially important. Attacks are up, funds to modernize have been zeroed out, staff has been reduced and now on top of that the shutdown has made things even harder. Meanwhile critical information still needs protecting and adversaries remain as persistent as ever.
This means it is more important than ever to find new ideas to better defend our infrastructure.
We have crafted the agenda of the Third Annual FedCyber Summit (6 Nov 2013) to do just that.
