June 19th: The True Task of the New Federal Cyber Czar
June 16, 2009
There has been much publicity about the soon-to-be announced federal cyber czar. After a good deal of rhetoric over the role and research into what really needs to be done, it seems that we are very close to a selection. But do we all really understand what this person will be doing? And how and why they are doing it?
Joining Steve Dispensa on Friday, June 19th, to talk about this newly developed federal government role is Danny Bradbury, US bureau chief and US editor of InfoSecurity magazine. Danny has spent many years as a technology journalist, and additionally edits two newsletters, Computer Fraud and Security and Network Security.
Steve and Danny will talk about what they feel the top priorities of this new position should be based on the biggest threats in our current IT security landscape. They’ll also talk about what skills this new person and their core team should have. For instance, should there be a true hacker in the mix to really know how to protect us?
This isn’t a political debate, it’s a security rundown. Don’t miss this episode, our first hour-long Security Break Live!
