Keynote Address: Engineering and National Security: Our Role in Securing America’s Future

This session is part of our IoT Device Security Conference. Registration/event page here.

Leading cybersecurity and national security experts have long held the view that security-centric engineering and technology developments are key to the resiliency of our nation’s critical infrastructure. But how do we change organizational cultures to prioritize security and what tools exist to support this journey?

In this fireside chat, attendees will hear from Dr. Ron Ross, a computer scientist and Fellow at NIST who currently leads the NIST Systems Security Engineering Project and Parham Eftekhari, a recognized cyber and national security executive, on the importance of system and cyber resilience, the need for greater transparency in commercial computing technologies, and the opportunity to achieve greater levels of assurance in critical systems.

As a 2015 inductee into the National Cyber Security Hall of Fame, Dr. Ross will share his unique front-line perspectives on the development of security standards and guidelines for the federal government, contractors, and United States critical infrastructure.
