Building
off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking
presents Cyber Security World Conference 2014 New York City
(www.CyberSecurityWorldConference.com),
forum that will bring the latest thinking from security experts to
hundreds of senior executives focused on protecting enterprises and
government's information assets.
New
York City, NY, USA (November 1, 2014) -- According to The Hill,
the Obama administration's recently issued cyber threat information
sharing framework comes at a time when discussions are heating up in
Congress on stalled legislation dealing with cyber security. Why
lawmakers and law enforcement officials have been pounding the
pavement in recent weeks, declaring that steps to ease the sharing of
information about cyber threats are critical for the country's
defenses, will be discussed at Golden Networking's Cyber Security
World Conference 2014 New York City
(http://www.CyberSecurityWorldConference.com),
unique professional gathering where cybersecurity experts are set to
illustrate business on protecting their information from
cyber-attacks.
The
document fills a gap in the U.S. Department of Commerce's National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s more general
cybersecurity framework, released on February 12, 2014. The
framework, created through collaboration between industry and
government, consists of standards, guidelines, and practices to
promote the protection of critical infrastructure. The prioritized,
flexible, repeatable, and cost-effective approach of the framework
helps owners and operators of critical infrastructure to manage
cybersecurity-related risk.
The
Department of Homeland Security's Critical Infrastructure Cyber
Community C³ Voluntary Program helps align critical infrastructure
owners and operators with existing resources that will assist their
efforts to adopt the Cybersecurity Framework and manage their cyber
risks. NIST also issued a companion roadmap that discusses NIST's
next steps with the Framework and identifies key areas of
cybersecurity development, alignment, and collaboration.
Roadblocks
to total implementation still remain though, as both industry and
privacy groups have been hesitant to freely share information in the
current legal landscape. One bill that would address the legal issues
is the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), but it remains
unclear whether the bill could see action in the lame-duck session
after the elections, according to The Hill. Absent congressional
action, businesses are concerned about whether they will be protected
from liability when sharing information with the government.
Conversely, privacy advocates are wary of what personal data
industries might share with the government, given the surveillance
activities that have been revealed at the National Security Agency
(NSA).
About
Cyber Security World Conference 2014
Cybersecurity
is never again a term to ignore for individuals or corporations. The
daily activities of all Americans, the country's global economic
prominence and worldwide security rely on a safe and resilient
cyberspace. Unfortunately, the number of cyber-attacks has increased
dramatically over the last years, exposing confidential personal and
business data, disrupting critical operations, and imposing
exorbitantly high costs on the economy overall.
Just
recently, J.P. Morgan Chase, America's largest commercial bank with
$2.39 trillion in assets, announced that about 76 million households
and 7 million of small-business customers had been affected by a
cyberattack in one of the most sweeping known global breaches. The
company said the unknown attackers stole customers' contact
information, which included names, email addresses, numbers and
addresses, affected an amount equivalent to almost two-thirds of
American households.
A
brief walk down memory lane of some the biggest recent cyber-attacks
now include Adobe Systems, Automated Data Processing, Citigroup,
E*Trade Financial, Fidelity Investments, Home Depot, HSBC, Nasdaq
OMX, Neiman Marcus, Target and Wal-mart. It is not unlikely to
consider that the information of every American has already been
compromised in any of these publicly disclosed attacks.
Renowned
information security experts and innovative service providers will
present at Cyber Security World Conference 2014 their latest thinking
to hundreds of senior executives focused on protecting enterprises
and governmental agencies. Topics that will be discussed include:
• Is
Biometrics the Key to Personal and Corporate Security?
• Strengthening
the Security of Industry-wide Technology Infrastructure
• Cyber
Security Megatrends Security Professionals can't Ignore Today
• Key
Considerations about Security in the Internet of Things Age
• Cyber
Security and its Role in the Overall Security of the United States
• How
Hackers Really Operate to Obtain Financial Data
• Designing
and Managing Effective Information Security Programs
