Cybersecurity Innovation Forum

The NCCoE is sponsoring the 2014 Cybersecurity Innovation Forum, to be held January 28-30, 2014, at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Md.

Keynote speakers include Goldman Sachs Managing Director and Chief Information Risk Officer Phil Venables, Special Assistant to the President and Cybersecurity Coordinator Michael Daniels, and Chief Information Security Officer for the County of Los Angeles Robert Pittman. Other keynotes will cover industry views of the security threat, the Presidential Policy Directive on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (PPD 21), impacts of PPD 21 and Executive Order 13636 on improving the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure, and the U.S. government’s collaboration with industry to secure our nation’s cybersecurity. The forum offers four tracks: Trusted Computing, Security Automation, Information Sharing, and Research.
