Phyllis Schneck, Deputy Under Secretary, National Protection and Programs Directorate, Department of Homeland Security (invited)
Cybersecurity is a top priority for DHS. Cyber threats are increasing in frequency, scale, and sophistication. Cybersecurity must be a partnership between government and industry. Schneck will discuss how DHS executes its mission as the central federal interface for the private sector in responding to and recovering from cyber threats. Schneck will also detail how DHS is improving and expanding its capability to send and receive cyber threat information to the private sector.

10:20–10:40 PROTECTING YOUR CYBER NETWORK USING THE NIST FRAMEWORK
Adam Sedgewick, Senior Information Technology Policy Advisor, National Institute of Standards and Technology (invited)
Cybersecurity experts often say that there are two types of businesses—those that have been hacked and know it, and those that have been hacked and don’t know it yet. In 2014, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a cybersecurity framework to help businesses start a cybersecurity program or improve an existing one. Sedgewick will discuss best practices to help early users of the framework better understand it, give business owners tools and tips for strengthening a cybersecurity program, and explore ways to communicate about cyber with small and midsize supply chain partners.

Moderator: Bradley Hayes, Director, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
 TBD, Special Agent, FBI (invited)
 TBD, Special Agent, US Secret Service (invited)
 
The FBI and the Secret Service are often the first entities to learn of criminals’ access to company networks. The U.S. Chamber engages law enforcement to build trusted public-private relationships, which are essential to confirming a crime and beginning a criminal investigation. This panel will discuss the respective roles of the FBI and the Secret Service, how law enforcement shares cyber threat data with businesses, and the importance of reporting cyber incidents to law enforcement.

1:50-2:25 MANAGING CYBERSECURITY IN THE C-SUITE PANEL DISCUSSION
Moderator: Matthew Eggers, Senior Director, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
The need to address cybersecurity threats to American and global businesses has gone from an IT issue to a top priority for the C-suite and the boardroom. For many businesses, it’s not a matter of if an intrusion will happen, but when. In an interconnected world, economic security and national security are linked. People—business leaders—need to be committed to managing cyber risks to their organizations. Technology is only part of the solution. Are boards and senior managers increasingly governing cybersecurity better? Directors and officers have a duty to protect the assets—e.g., devices and data—of their companies. Do boards and senior executives appreciate the costs—e.g., legal, public relations, regulatory, and reputational—of a consequential attack? What are some effective ways to talk to company leaders about securing cybersecurity resources?
 
2:25—2:30 CLOSING REMARKS
