US Cybersecurity: Protecting Critical Infrastructure
U.S. cybersecurity discuss how America can protect its critical infrastructure.
As much as 85 percent of critical infrastructure - communications networks, the electric grid, transportation centers, financial networks, etc. - is owned and operated by the private sector. While protecting these networks is matter of national security, there are legal, cultural and technical barriers to sharing cybersecurity information between government and industry while protecting privacy and civil liberties. This panel will explore the vulnerabilities of vital systems as well as the opportunities for advancing security.

Stopping Cyberattacks with Cybersecurity Innovation
Cybersecurity experts discuss how innovation can help stop the threat of cyberattacks.
If more resources were devoted to the cutting-edge of cyber security innovation, countless cyber-attacks could be disrupted or prevented, caches of sensitive information could be kept out of the wrong hands, and millions of dollars could be saved. In 2011, the White House Cyber Coordinator launched the National Cybersecurity Innovation Awards, aimed at recognizing organizations and individuals who have found innovative methods and products to reduce the risk of cyber-attacks. Pulling together some of individuals who are aware of the newest and most promising technologies might spur greater awareness of this vital area of technological innovation.
