The 2013 Cybersecurity Summit at The Washington Post brings together leading national security officials, industry experts and those who write about them, including syndicated columnist David Ignatius. The program discussed efforts to defend the nation’s critical infrastructure, financial system, and intellectual property, as well as current thinking about the government outsourcing of cyber security efforts and its collaboration with private industry, and the safety of information stored in the Cloud, among other topics. Few issues are as urgent as the concern about cyber theft and cyber espionage.
WilmerHale Partner Ben Powell was a featured speaker at this event, and played the role of Director of National Intelligence.
