NCCoE Speaker Series: Janet Levesque with RSA

The NCCoE Speaker Series features nationally known thought leaders addressing issues in cybersecurity. These talks are suitable for anyone with an interest in cybersecurity. Sponsored by the NCCoE and the Maryland and Montgomery County Departments of Economic Development. Bring your business cards and plan to share them! We've included time for networking.

Janet Levesque, Chief Information Security Officer at RSA, will discuss how traditional security models are failing. While the idea of a shift from prevention to detection has gained traction, most current approaches to detection rely heavily on the same techniques that have rendered preventative tools ineffective. The ultimate goal - disrupting and stopping attacks - has continued to elude security experts. The next stage in the industry's evolution is to move to a stance of "dynamic defense," which combines the ability to detect an attack and fully understand its scope and potential impact on the business, and then use the information to disrupt the attack before adversaries can accomplish their goals.
