Six of the nation’s most senior cybersecurity officials will gather Tuesday, Oct. 19, during an event hosted by Auburn University’s McCrary Institute for Cyber and Infrastructure Security to discuss the next generation of public/private cybersecurity partnerships. The discussion will be live-streamed.
The half-day symposium, held in Washington D.C., begins at 9 a.m. EDT (8 a.m. CDT) and will be moderated by McCrary Institute Director Frank Cilluffo, who also serves as a commissioner on the U.S. Cyberspace Solarium Commission.
President Joe Biden’s National Cyber Director Chris Inglis will kick off the event with a keynote address, followed by the cybersecurity panel of public and private sector leaders to share ideas how to make public/private cybersecurity partnerships real and meaningful. The goal is to break through bureaucratic boundaries and fight cybercrime with the full resources of the federal government and the private sector.
Participants in the panel are:
“As cyber threats continue to escalate in both scale and scope, we need to bring the full resources of all sectors to the fight,” Cilluffo said. “This discussion offers a vital opportunity for public and private sector leaders to identify and remove any barriers from a fully functional public and private partnership. We have the resources, but we are not going to win this fight without a one-team approach and sharing our expertise and knowledge of potential threats and how to best respond.’’
