Along with compliance requirements, agency Chief Information Security Officers oversee the security of the government’s networks and critical infrastructure from domestic and foreign attacks.

This session will take a deep-dive into the immediate and long-term hurdles facing CISOs across all levels of government missions from providing security for information systems that support operations and assets to the expansion of responsibility for whole agency cyber accountability.
