The Chesapeake Region and Federal IT community are inundated with cyber security initiatives and requirements, but which ones really count and what does it mean for our technical community and their future? Is Ft. Meade and NSA the epicenter of these Federal Cyber initiatives? Will the Chesapeake Region become the "cyber security silicon valley"? Where is the commercial "cyber world" going?  What's the future for the Department of Defense's joint cyber command? Will personal security concerns impair our competitive advantages? Is the region equipped to provide the human capital and infrastructure to support these initiatives? Attend this session to get up to speed on what's happening and what's coming in the world of "cyber" security.
