Emerging Challenges and Capabilities in Cyber Security, a cyber security conference organized by Technology Training Corporation, will be held on September 23-24, 2009, Washington DC.
NATO Chief of Cyber Defense:
Cyber terrorism / cyber attacks pose as great a threat to national security as a missile attack.
Last year, the Department of Defense suffered an estimated 80,000 network attacks. On government networks alone, a new software vulnerability is exploited every 82 minutes. Meanwhile, attacks on US federal agencies’ computer systems are increasing at alarming rates. Furthermore, utilities are being hit by an estimated 500 to 1000 attacks from hackers and malicious code every year. The financial and economic impact of a one day cyber sabotage effort that disrupts US credit and debit card transactions is estimated at being about $35 billion USD. For 2008, the national cyber budget will exceed $6 billion USD. Given our ever-increasing reliance on digital connectivity, it is imperative that the US directly engages these threats in order to avert potential catastrophe.
This exceptional conference brings together senior level military, government and industry experts in cyber security and network operations. They will provide you with first-hand insight on how OSD, the Services, DHS and other government agencies are planning to meet current and emerging cyber security challenges.
