Cyber Defense is the New Offense 

Tuesday, June 6  |  8:00am – 9:00am

During this keynote, Joseph "Rich" Baich, CISO at the CIA, will share how the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve; threats are emerging as the result of geopolitical issues and technology advancements. The cyber security skilled workforce continues to struggle with over 1,000,000 unfilled job openings. Future conflicts will require private industries to think about how their cyber defenders are trained and equipped to mitigate these emerging threats and potential scenarios. Now is the time for individuals and organizations to think about what technology tool kits, skills development and defensive techniques are required to prepare their organizations to mitigate the current and future emerging cyber threats.

  • This was my first Techno Security & Digital Forensics Conference. As a manager of an Extraction/Intel Section I was unsure about attending. It was amazing, I learned so much and am a far better leader understanding more about what my people are doing and why they are always asking for new equipment. So many new contacts to help move our section forward.
