Oct. 27 Webinar Looks at Impact of Cybersecurity Risk Management for Federal Defense
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Navy League of the United States — a nonprofit civilian, educational and advocacy organization that supports America’s sea services: the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine — announced that it is partnering with Dell Technologies, Deloitte and Owl Cyber Defense for a webinar on managing risks in a high-threat network, geared toward the federal defense community.
High-threat networks, where a known or suspected bad actor is operating without knowledge of the primary network users, are under new guidance from the National Cross Domain Strategy and Management Office. These new guidelines, called Raise the Bar, are changing how organizations manage critical information sharing inside these networks.
“The era of Great Power Competition, where Russia and China are vying for a more dominant global role, is also the era of nation-state cyberthreats. Insecurities in our networks are as concerning as the powerplays we have seen on the seas and in the air from our adversaries for decades. We are glad to present the information in this webinar to ensure the sea services community has the most up-to-date information in this latest domain of warfare,” said Mike Stevens, Navy League national executive director and retired 13th Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy.
The webinar, which takes place Oct. 27 at 3 p.m. ET, will feature speakers Scott St. Pierre, deputy director of cybersecurity for the U.S. Navy; Ken Walker, chief technology officer for Owl Cyber Defense; Chris Thomas, lead system architect for Dell Technologies; and Gordon Hannah, principal of Cyber Risk Services at Deloitte & Touche LLP. The event will be moderated by Scott Coleman and features an introduction by Mike Stevens.
