(ISC)²® is seeking speakers for the 5th annual (ISC)² CyberSecureGov, to be held May 9-11, 2017, at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C.
Themed “Educating the Workforce in Cyber,” this 3-day training event brings together luminaries from government, academia and industry to address the human element of cybersecurity throughout the workplace from technical, managerial and general perspectives.
This educational program will be different from the typical DC-area event, gathering experts from across the nation to participate.
“Practicing good cyber hygiene is now required of every government employee, not just a small group of professionals categorized as the cyber ‘elite’,” said Dan Waddell, CISSP, CAP, PMP, managing director, North America Region and director of U.S. Government Affairs, (ISC)².
“This year’s CyberSecureGov speakers will inspire the application of best practices, principles and technologies that create a culture characterized by a security mindset for the benefit of those in the field and throughout the broader workplace.”

- Cloud Security
