Join the Cispa debate at Cyber Defence 2012 and network with leading cyber industry colleagues
Register now for SMi's 5th annual Cyber Defence conference and join an array of high level speakers and delegates, who will gather in London on 18 & 19 June 2012.
/EINPresswire.com/With the recent news of the US House of Representatives passing the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (Cispa), there is growing concern that this will allow the government to access web users' private data on suspicion of a cyber threat. Whilst some argue that the bill would make the US safer and better protect their economy from foreign cyber predators, many question the transparency of the act and raised concerns about privacy protection.*
Join the debate at Cyber Defence 2012, with presentations from Robert Lee, Cyberspace Officer, AFISRA, USAF and Captain Jeremy Lee Sparks, Undergraduate Cyber Training, USAF discussing the future of nation-state cyber weapons, and Dick Crowell, Information & Cyberspace Operations, US Naval War College, who will talk about learning from cyber events, attacks, and defence. Gain a European perspective from Thomas Kristmar, Head, Danish GovCERT, whose presentation on creating a national response to cyber threats will touch on the role of the Danish GovCERT and the national cooperation model.
With such an exciting debate surrounding the cyber defence policy arena, don't miss this must-attend event and register today!
