Program Series Policy Symposia

Cyber Security

These one-day policy symposia explore innovative solutions to issues that cut across the federal government. Conversations during each symposium will provide a platform for new ideas and policy innovation, particularly in terms of actions that can be taken through existing legislative mandates and agency discretionary authority. You will learn how to actively engage in actions to manage some of the thorniest issues facing government.

The president has stated that the country’s economic prosperity depends on cyber security. Because cyberspace issues impact all agencies, coordinated action is needed to reduce the threat to both government and communities. This symposium includes senior policymakers, cyberspace experts, and agency leaders in conversations about strategies that can be implemented via executive action.
