| Description: |
The AFCEA Atlanta Chapter presents the next
Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to a
technical program of unsurpassed scope and
quality, AFCEA provides the central meeting place
for government, academia, and industry working in
all disciplines in industry, service, government,
military and academic sectors.
Today's infrastructure is connected to many other
infrastructure assets, systems, and networks for
normal day-to-day operations. These connections
may be geographically limited or dispersed over
great distances. The many points of infrastructure
connections and their geographic distribution can
make the infrastructure environment much more
complex.
This conference supports the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) which works to strengthen
critical infrastructure security and resilience by
generating greater understanding and action across
a partnership landscape. This is achieved by
working with private and public infrastructure
stakeholders to resolve infrastructure security
and resilience knowledge gaps, inform
infrastructure risk management decisions, identify
resilience-building opportunities and strategies,
and improve information sharing among stakeholders
through a collaborative partnership approach. The
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
(CISA) leads the effort to enhance the resilience
of the nation's physical and cyber infrastructure
by bringing resources to your fingertips. Only
working together can we defend against today's
threats and collaborate to build secure and
resilient infrastructure for the future.
Attendees are also invited to participate in a
coordinated cybersecurity preparedness exercise to
assess how events impacting critical
infrastructure are handled. This was inspired by
the JACK VOLTAIC exercises led by the Army Cyber
Institute. Scenarios are being designed to help
identify and address gaps and interdependencies
bringing together numerous entities responsible
for critical infrastructure shared among many
constituencies. This exercise is developed around
areas of interest suggested by the participants,
and is focused on gaining key insights into how
multiple levels of industry and government respond
to events impacting critical infrastructure and
what impact that might have. The tabletop exercise
will include a series of "turns" enabling
participants to practice a response. |
