Today's Leading Government Cyber Security Innovators
With last year’s data breaches still top-of-mind, multiple compromises at U.S. federal agencies and government contractors underscore a threat that has become both more pervasive and diverse. Government is clearly under attack, but yesterday’s solutions are no longer an option. Gone are the days when chief information security officers (CISOs) could close off government systems to the rest of the world; today’s workforce is increasingly mobile, and today’s critical applications – and the computing power that runs them – are becoming global. What is a CISO to do?
Join Federal Computer Week, in partnership with Northrop Grumman, for the first-ever Federal 100 Cyber Breakfast, where you’ll hear from leading cyber security innovators in government. Whether on the front-lines of the cyber war at DoD, shaping policy on the national security staff or defending against cyber terrorism, these 2010 Federal 100 winners have gone above and beyond their daily responsibilities to make a difference in the way technology has transformed their agency and accelerated the mission in the cyber domain.
