Industry cyber security advisors, transition teams and presidential commissions have all offered advice to the Obama administration on the keys to securing our nation’s information systems, but what are those on the front lines of agency programs saying? How do federal CISOs view the widespread problems and potential solutions facing our nation?
 
(ISC)2, along with Government Futures and Cisco, recently released The State of Cybersecurity from the Federal Chief Information Security Officer’s Perspective--An (ISC)2 Report -- the first-ever, in-depth survey provided to 40 federal CISOs and senior security managers conducted to get a front line perspective on the current and future state of agency programs, network and systems security, and the CISOs view on developing an effective information security workforce. The roundtable webinar will address such issues as:
  •  Do survey respondents see an improvement in the security of their organizations?
  • Are they influencing change within their organizations?
  • What are the frustrations with the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI)?
  • What are the most critical tools and technologies needed to address the top priorities?
  • How is the economic crisis affecting the workforce?
This distinguished panel will discuss key findings from the report and how the government CISO's evolving role will impact the future of government information assurance:
  • John Stewart, Chief Security Officer, Cisco Systems
  • W. Hord Tipton, CISSP-ISSEP, CAP, CISA, Executive Director of (ISC)2
