7:30 am - 8:45 am Closed Door Breakfast Briefing

Discuss challenges with your peers in critical infrastructure, and colleagues from government, in this closed-door troubleshooting session.

8:45 am - 9:00 am Chairperson’s Welcoming Remarks

9:00 am - 9:45 am Keynote: Cross-sector Risk Management Discussion on Cyber and Physical Threats to Critical Infrastructure

9:45 am - 10:15 am The argument against IoT: Will Embracing New Technologies Help or Hinder Efforts to Secure Critical Infrastructure?

The reach of technology is presenting a problem to critical infrastructure operators. Even if networks and structures directly under your remit are secure, how can operators protect their sites against personal devices linked to the cloud (like iPhones) that move freely in and out of facilities? Led by the Department of Energy - Savannah River, this discussion will look at both sides of the aisle: yes, technology advances us, but to what extent does it leave us vulnerable? Join this discussion on:

· Is securing IoT a fruitless effort? We’re asking if it’s possible– but is it feasible? Exploring what would need to be done to protect physical and cyber security networks, and determining how realistic these goals are.

· The Public Sector Experience: What synergies are there working in a public sector plant versus private sector, and how recognizing these similarities and differences can benefit both parties.

· Redefining Roles: what does it mean to be a Chief Information Security Officer? How IoT, and other emerging technologies, are changing the role of the Chief Information Security Officer.

11:30 am - 12:15 pm CIO Panel: 12 Month Outlook and Priorities for Investment in Infrastructure Security

A recent survey concluded that cloud computing remains a top priority for CIOs in both public and private sector. How true is this, and what knock-on effect will this have on cyber and physical security functions?
