 ABOUT CYBER DEFENSE 
The trends of growth in broadband access given to employees and the greater connectivity of computer systems and networks need to be counterbalanced by a corresponding growth in technologies to prevent cyber-invasions. Current approaches, though useful, are insufficient against sophisticated perpetrators and cyber-terrorists.  Attacks against our most vital computer networks represent a significant threat to our safety and security.  Our critical infrastructure needs protection from acts of terrorism and crime with a rapid adaptability to natural or intentional disruptions.

One important Department of Homeland Security priority will be to examine the vulnerabilities found in security systems. The emphasis will be on catastrophic terrorism - threats to the security of our homeland that could result in large-scale loss of life as well as triggering major economic repercussions. The focus will be on both evolutionary improvements to current capabilities as well as the development of revolutionary new capabilities.

Consistent with the National Strategy for Homeland Security, the strategic objectives of the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace are to:

Prevent cyber attacks against America’scritical infrastructures;
Reduce national vulnerability tocyber attacks; and
Minimize damage and recovery timefrom cyber attacks that do occur.  CONFERENCE GOAL 
Market*Access will host a training conference for industry and government focusing on agency needs and requirements in the area of Homeland Defense regarding Cyber Security, Network Infrastructure Protection and Cyber Terrorism. This will be a public-level series of training presentations on the challenges ahead. Speakers will represent federal agencies and leading security, equipment and systems suppliers.

The goal of this meeting is to begin to prepare U.S. government and industry for the changes that will come about regarding cyber defense.
