AFCEA Breakfast May 2017

Cybersecurity in the Age of Internet of Things

The Trump Administration has demonstrated an understanding and appreciation of the importance of cybersecurity to United States national security interests. Less attention has been paid, however, to the massive challenge of securing Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the risk this poses to IoT endpoints on our national critical infrastructure.

Please join AFCEA Bethesda on May 17 as federal government panelists discuss balancing the consumer benefits of IoT— such as personalization and enhanced services—with the inherent security risks in network connected devices, systems and services.

AFCEA Bethesda’s Monthly Breakfast series features panel discussions led by senior-executive government representatives. The goals of the event series are to foster better inter-agency communication, share best practices and lessons learned and identify mission-critical IT issues affecting the federal IT community. With speakers drawn largely from federal civilian agencies, the panel format offers a compelling snapshot of multiple agency perspectives.
