2013 Cyber Security Symposium - Opening

Kickoff for the 2013 Cyber Security Symposium.
Speakers - State CIO Carlos Ramos, State ISO Michele Robinson, Joanne McNabb - Director of Privacy Education and Policy for the Office of the Attorney General

Cyber security awareness and leadership has never been more important than it is today. The top three areas identified as most vulnerable to cyber-attacks are critical infrastructure, in particular the energy sector, financial institutions, and government services.

As the state's citizen-facing services continue to move to an online service model, it is critical that the responsibility for protecting our state's critical infrastructure, essential public services, and information assets are provided the highest level of attention and visibility within every organization.

At this year's conference we will promote awareness and deliver education in the most critical areas. These include:

• Security Leadership: Decision-makers that will Prevent and Respond to Future Cyber Attacks
• Risk Management: Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Essential Public Services
• Building Security In: Intelligent Security Design, Development and Acquisition
• Information Sharing and Collaboration: Connecting the Dots
• Business Continuity Umbrella: Succession, Crisis Communication and Technology Recovery
• Convergence of Incident Management and Emergency Management: Cyber Attacks
• Privacy: Protecting Personal Information through Due Diligence and Due Care
