General Timothy D. Haugh, United States Air Force, Commander,
United States Cyber Command, Director, National Security
Agency/Chief, Central Security Service, and John Sherman, CIO,
Department of Defense, are confirmed to speak at the 15th Annual
Billington CyberSecurity Summit being held September 3-6, 2024 at
the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in
Washington, DC. The event will explore topics related to this
year’s theme: Advancing Cybersecurity in the AI Age and is expected
to draw more than 2,000 attendees and over 200 speakers.
“Artificial intelligence is reshaping many of the ways we get
work done. It is also presenting new challenges and threats to
keeping our nation safe,” explained Thomas K. Billington, CEO and
Founder, Billington CyberSecurity, a leading cyber education
company for executives founded in 2010. “For the 15th year, we are
convening many of the best and brightest cyber leaders to provide
insights and information about protecting our country and allied
partners in this rapidly changing cyber world.”
Helping provide perspective, General Haugh will participate in a
fireside chat titled Cyber Command’s Role in Active Defense. The
one-on-one discussion is timely as the NSA and US Cyber Command are
at the forefront of securing the nation's cyber defense through an
ambitious program of working with partners overseas, aggressive
monitoring of adversarial cyber activity, and partnering with the
private sector to protect the defense industrial base. General
Haugh will lay out Cyber Command's vision on how it will leverage
its growing capabilities and authorities to counter US cyber
adversaries in real-time.
Sherman will also be featured at a Fireside Chat. He manages a
broad portfolio of IT and cyber developments which are rapidly
converging, significantly increasing DOD IT endpoints, and
requiring an aggressive implementation of a DOD-wide Zero Trust
framework to transform defense cybersecurity. He will discuss the
DOD plan for accomplishing this, where the private sector is and
can help, and the DOD plan for what is next.
Designed to address the nation’s pressing cyber needs, the
four-day event includes panel discussions, breakout sessions, and
fireside chats. This year’s summit will emphasize the increasing
impact that artificial intelligence (AI) is having on the cyber
world and includes an entire day and a breakout track with sessions
that explore:
- Gaining a better understanding of AI's impact on
cybersecurity.
- Taking a deeper look into cloud security and current issues
impacting it.
- Thinking about how to be more proactive in addressing technical
risk.
- Considering the next set of cyber risks that will likely impact
the nation’s defenses.
- Looking at better ways to protect data from breaches and
insider threats,
- Continuing to better understand the relationship between cyber
and critical infrastructure.
Presented by a variety of sponsors, including Lead Underwriters:
Amazon Web Services and CISCO, speakers span government, military,
nonprofits, industry, and academia and discuss the most current
cyber trends and issues during more than 40 thought provoking
