Topic:
This AFCEA Technical seminar will
focus on the emerging new threats to our Government’s IT
infrastructure. As new types of attacks and even the motivations
behind those attacks evolve, it is increasingly difficult to
recognize threats, stop attacks, isolate damage and even potentially
forensically track back the attackers. The speakers will discuss
topics ranging from: IA regulatory compliancy, protecting the
infrastructure and its assets, emerging Defense-in-depth protection
strategies, technologies role, and best practices.
