| Dr. Ron Ross, Fellow, National Institute of Standards and Technology |

Date: Wednesday, 17 April 2013 Time: 8:30am - 9:30am |

In this closing keynote, seasoned security expert Ron Ross will argue that for decades the full potential of comprehensive cybersecurity standards and guidelines have not been realized because both the public and private sector have failed to integrate cybersecurity into the organizational mission and business processes. Instead, cybersecurity is treated as if it were distinct from enterprise architecture, system development life cycle, systems engineering, and acquisition/procurement. Dr. Ross, who leads the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) Implementation Project for NIST, will assert that to be effective, cybersecurity must be closely linked to issues that mission/business owners and program managers focus on, including cost, schedule and performance. He will show that for cybersecurity efforts to reach their potential, senior leaders must be able to manage cybersecurity-related risks within their enterprises.
