While cybersecurity is seemingly an issue of technology, it is also a human capital issue. What are the attributes of the cybersecurity “warrior?” In a networked world of individual hackers, hactivists, APTs, private firms, cyber militia, and new cyber military units, do the old models of selection, training, and organization still apply? Who will win in this human competition for talent, and what are the consequences?

In addition to featuring keynote remarks by Admiral Mike Rogers, Director of the National Security Agency, this event will convene experts and practitioners from the public and private sector, military, media, academia, non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations for a series of discussion panels and first person “pop-up” style speeches on the wide range of cybersecurity issues that are affecting and infecting everything from personal devices and corporate networks to national defense and international affairs. The focus of the event will be to push past the status quo and instead explore the next generation of challenges, as well as highlight bold, new ideas to face them. CNN is the event’s media partner and will provide a live-stream of the event.
