Agenda

9:00                 KEYNOTE
NEXT STEPS FOR CYBERSECURITY AFTER A DECADE OF LESSONS LEARNED

10:00               LAWFUL HACKING: ACCESS TO DIGITAL EVIDENCE IN THE 21ST CENTURY
New applications and devices are being designed with features that present challenges to traditional investigative techniques used by law enforcement. As a result, other means of gaining access to digital evidence such as expanding law enforcement authorities to hack endpoints have been a topic of much discussion. Experts will weigh the privacy, public safety, and security equities of new proposals to facilitate lawful access to digital evidence.

11:00               SHOULD WE WAIT FOR NORMS?

Significant national cybersecurity incidents in the last year reflect a growing willingness by nation-state adversaries to use cyber tools to conduct cybercrime and espionage, threaten personal information and company data, and commit politically coercive cyber acts. Experts will assess the changing international security environment and potential responses to increased hostility in cyberspace.

In recent years, a series of high-profile breaches demonstrated that traditional network defenses alone are not enough to prevent attackers from accessing and exploiting sensitive data. For government agencies and private companies, developing an organization-wide crisis response strategy is just as important as strengthening network defenses. This panel will discuss organizational, technical, and policy approaches to help mitigate and manage major cyber incidents.
