Wednesday, September 03, 2008 from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM (ET)
Please join your fellow INCMA members for an exclusive members only meeting.
The InfraGard Defense Industrial Base SIG (Sector Interest Group) is hosting it's third quarter event for 2008. We are developing our DIB Framework for CIP in the NCR including the use of software applications to map critical assets owned by the private sector and the utilization of other self-assessment tools.
In addition, we will review our vital focus on proactive, preemptive and relevant Defense Sector Chief Security Officer (CSO) strategies for DoD Mission Assurance and our Critical Infrastructure Protection.
Can we rely on the education of our end users of information resources to do the right thing if our technological controls fail or are missing?
As a topic of discussion share your opinion of the right balance of user awareness and technical controls that have proven effective in the warfighter community and those who support them. Behavioral controls (that which we teach and enforce) may either be more, less or equally effective than the technological controls (that which we buy and install).
It would appear that behavioral controls might be more effective in the regimented workflows of the Defense community than in the private sector. What are the best practices your organization is leveraging to reduce risk and to what extent is it working? Is it worth the effort to assess workflows to find specific risks to mitigate or use an all-encompassing approach, such as encrypting everything? If using encryption, share with us your costs of no incidents, that is in general, how much is being spent (or lost) dealing with encryption of information that hasn't been compromised?
These questions, (and we encourage others), will be addressed in our September Defense SIG event.
TOPICS FOR THIS MEETING WILL BE FOCUSED ON:
We will continue to cover the current priorities in the National Capital Region (NCR) and the critical public/private infrastructure interdependencies with Defense Companies such as IDA, CACI, Stanley Associates, ICF International, SAIC, Booz Allen Hamilton, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and more. If you are an employee of a Defense company or you are a "Subject Matter Expert" (SME) that services the Defense Industrial Base in our metro area, please join us.
Our interactive meeting will continue our process and establish the leadership roles for the remainder of the year.
Thank you to our facilities sponsor CACI International for hosting this event. Ever Vigilant, CACI provides the professional services and IT solutions needed to prevail in today's defense, intelligence, homeland security and federal civilian goverment arenas.
