Speakers confirmed to present at this year’s conference include:





Defending IT Systems and Networks for Trusted and Reliable Communication

"Cyberspace touches practically everything and everyone. It provides a platform for innovation and prosperity and the means to improve general welfare around the globe. But with the broad reach of a loose and lightly regulated digital infrastructure, great risks threaten nations, private enterprises, and individual rights. The government has a responsibility to address these strategic vulnerabilities to ensure that the United States and its citizens, together with the larger community of nations, can realize the full potential of the information technology revolution."

Melissa Hathaway, Cyberspace Policy Review
