Panel #5: Will the Cyber Defenders Prevail? A Look Ahead at the Task of Securing the Information Age

DR. PETER FONASH Chief Technology Officer, Department of Homeland Security

VALENCIA MACLIN Director, Homeland Security and Secure Systems, Site Executive at Raytheon Company

MATTHEW PRINCE Chief Executive Officer, CloudFlare

ALEX STAMOS Chief Security Officer, Facebook

MODERATED BY IAN WALLACE Co-Director, New America's Cybersecurity Initiative

This year our focus is on shaping the cybersecurity of the future. How will cyberspace evolve? What does that mean for cybersecurity? And what can we do to ensure that security gets better not worse? In a series of traditional panel discussions, interview-style keynotes from government and the private sector, and 'pop-up' presentations we will explore a diverse range of topics looking at cybersecurity of the future. How will we secure growing networks of cars, health devices and other "things"? What can we do to ensure that our cyber workforce is more diverse and representative? How can complex networks of actors work together to mitigate the next Heartbleed-scale software vulnerability? How will global trends affect the cybersecurity challenges that will threaten the United States?
