Every Side of Cyber

The Defense Department, the Intelligence Community and civilian agencies must continue to defend systems and data today as well as prepare for the constant evolution of cyber threats.

New entrants in the air space like drones and urban air taxis change the way the national air space needs to be managed and secured.

Federal News Network organized a panel discussion with industry and government cybersecurity experts to explore the challenges, and opportunities, around this critical issue.

John DeSimone, the vice president for Cybersecurity and Special Missions at Raytheon, said agencies have to ask themselves, can their data—not just their systems—survive an attack?

The only way to address this ever-growing cyber worker skillset is to get the next generation of employees interested and excited about cybersecurity.

The evolution of cyber tools and capabilities over the last few years, most notably the sharing of threat intelligence, has enabled agencies to do more to get ahead of the cyber threats.
