The speakers' panel at the summit, presented by The Institute for Defense and Government Advancement (IDGA), will include:
Day One of the summit will focus on what IDGA calls "The Human Capital Crisis in Cyber Security" -- the competition among militaries around the globe to "recruit the best computer specialists."
"If the U.S. gets the best people for its Cyber and Strategic Commands and all other institutions currently working within the field, then the cyber threat can only be transformed to an economic advantage and to a cyber opportunity," IDGA says.
In addition to 20 keynote and training sessions, there are a number of topics related to the transformation of warfare from physical to cyber space. A presentation by Scott Borg is titled, "Replacing industrial defense thinking with cyber defense thinking."
In an interview with IDGA's Chris Archer, Borg says the prospect of cyberwar means the U.S. needs to "rethink every aspect of defense." Our current weapons and defense systems will still be needed, but the way we use them will become very different.
