Information Sharing for Cybersecurity

Wednesday, April 1, 2015 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Center for Strategic and International Studies1616 Rhode Island Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20036

Information sharing to improve cybersecurity has been a goal for the U.S. since the 1990s. After almost two decades of experience, some successful models have emerged, but obstacles and uncertainties continue to slow information exchanges. One major challenge is defining the role of government.

Should government participate, facilitate or control the sharing of cyber threat intelligence by and between government and commercial critical infrastructure? Is it possible for the government to take an active role in cybersecurity without creating the perception of risk to privacy and civil liberties of US persons? Are existing US privacy protections, written decades before the advent of the Internet, adaptable to the internet environment?

CSIS will assemble leading experts to discuss these challenges. The event will begin with a keynote speech on the larger issues pertaining to information sharing. Next, a panel will look through the prism of the Department of Energy’s Cybersecurity Risk Information Sharing Program (CRISP). CRISP started as a small pilot funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, but on August 14, 2014, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) agreed to manage CRISP for the Electricity Subsector, with each new company funding its own participation. The panel will discuss how CRISP might serve as a model for future information sharing and critical infrastructure protection programs.

Keynote Speaker:

Michael Daniel
Special Assistant to the President and Cybersecurity Coordinator, National Security Council

Tim Roxey
Chief Security Officer and Senior Director, Electricity Sector Information Sharing and Analysis Center, North American Electric Reliability Corporation
