Channel: 0xdade
Date: 2020-03-12

Speakers: Jen Ellis, Nick Leiserson, Leonard Bailey, and Kurt Opsahl

So far in the 116th Congress (2019-2020), 96 bills have been introduced containing the term “cybersecurity” in their title. As experts in security, we can either choose to participate and try to create better outcomes, or we can sit by while others decide our fates. Our goal for this session is to give attendees an overview of the themes and intentions of some of the key policy discussions relating to cybersecurity, their potential outcomes, and how attendees can help influence them.

Jen Ellis (@infosecjen) works with governments on legislative and non-legislative approaches to advancing security.

Nick Leiserson is Legislative Director for Congressman Jim Langevin, helps manage the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus, and is a leading congressional expert on cybersecurity.

Leonard Bailey is Special Counsel for National Security in DoJ’s Computer Crimes and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS). He leads Justice’s Cybersecurity Unit, advising on cybersecurity matters, including legislation and policies affecting the security community.

Kurt Opsahl (@kurtopsahl) is General Counsel of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and a leading voice on legal issues in the security community.
