Kirstjen M. Nielsen, Secretary of Homeland Security

DHS Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen will discuss strategies DHS is using to reach its cybersecurity goals to protect the country’s citizens and organizations from cyberattacks, breaches and cybercrime. Nielsen will also participate in a fireside chat-style interview to discuss the department’s initiatives for securing networks and addressing the new and ever-present threats that affect our American way of life.

Cybersecurity seems so much more important that geographic ones now. The risk is so huge to financial system, water, etc etc. Your ability to think in terms of systems is surely not common in Washington as it needs to be.

Any concerns from DHS regarding human health from microwaves, ELF's, EMF's, A.I., blue light, nanotech, the use of frequencies to harass people, etc...these seem like Cyber Risks.

Her expertise shines in this area as evident by how natural the conversation is flowing - the opposite of her misguided stanch on immigration.

We feel she deserves a great work environment where teamwork is not built on scapegoating to motivate but good ideas are rewarded. We so love our country and the welcoming hearts that created it. We love you for protecting our free elections that every citizen can freely participate in with faith.
