The FBI on Cyberthreats and the Importance of Private/Public Partnerships
Lunch Sponsor: Capensys
Description:
As cyberthreats continue to evolve, private industry, international partners and local, state and federal agencies need to strengthen partnerships to address the threats. The parties must be willing to share information and work together to enhance network security posture. From a federal law enforcement perspective, the FBI is working to provide industry with information on threats facing their systems and asking that industry work with them to identify key information -- improving security operations for all.
