2012 Cyber Conference

November 27 - 30, 2012
Baltimore, Maryland
Hosted by the ITEA Francis Scott Key Chapter

Program Description

Cyber warfare is no longer somethingCyber warfare is no longer something we'll have to worry about in the future. The Stuxent virus, which targeted and damaged Iranian nuclear infrastructure, showed that internet warfare is happening now. The cost of securing U.S. infrastructure against our enemies will cost billions of dollars. U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned that the United States could be paralyzed by cyber warfare if it is not prepared. "The reality is that there is the cyber capability to basically bring down our power grid to create ... to paralyze our financial system in this country to virtually paralyze our country," he told reporter Scott Pelley of CBS Evening News."And I think we have to be prepared not only to defend against that kind of attack but if necessary we are going to have to be prepared to be able to be aggressive when it comes to cyber efforts as well. We've got to develop the technology, the capability we've got to be able to defend this country." Maybe the most alarming part of cyber warfare is that it doesn't take an organized effort or millions of dollars to implement a devastating attack. A creative devious mind with access to a computer is all that it takes.

Please join us at Baltimore's fabulous Inner Harbor as members of the T&E community from academia, industry, and government discuss the need to meet the advanced persistent cyber threat. Come share your thoughts, connect with others, and learn from some of the leading experts at this conference. The cyber threat will only increase with time. We need your help in defeating a threat unlike any other we've seen in the past. Target: Baltimore, November 27-30.
