Abstract

Communications Security, Computer Security, Information Security, Information Assurance, Information Operations, Cyber Security: through a 35-year career at the National Security Agency, and now with the non-profit Center for Internet Security, Tony has been a participant, observer, and shaper of the world we now call Cyber Security. Since he?s never had another job (or some might say, never had a real job), through the lens of his career he will share his observations about the evolution of Cyber Security from a de facto government monopoly focused on national security and technology, to an issue that touches every one of us, in every aspect of our lives. Beyond the bumper stickers and rah-rah of Public-Private-Partnership, he?ll also describe the new models of cooperation between government and industry that we need for success.
