Cyber Defense of American Companies: Can “Operational” Partnerships Work?

RSA Conference 2018 – San Francisco
Wednesday, April 18, 2018 | 9:15am-10am | Moscone West 2001

 

 

The Trump Administration has advocated adoption of “operational” public-private partnerships to impose “defensive costs” and “punitive measures” on cyber adversaries targeting key American companies. What are the proper roles of the government and industry in such partnerships? What is technologically feasible and legally appropriate? What are the business implications of such partnerships?

The National Security Institute will explore these questions at RSA Conference 2018 in a panel entitled “Cyber Defense of American Companies: Can “Operational” Partnerships Work?
