    The State of Michigan endures 2.1 million attempted cyber-attacks per day. Since Governor Rick Snyder started in office it has been a top priority to create a safe and secure cyber environment for the citizens of Michigan. To advance these goals, the State of Michigan developed the Cyber Initiative, a Cyber Disruption Response Plan, created the Michigan Cyber Range, and established the Cyber Civilian Corps. This panel will discuss ongoing efforts to ensure cyber security at public and private levels. Merit is a helpful partner in this discussion as they continue to leverage their experience managing NSFNET, the pioneer to the modern Internet, to catapult Michigan into the forefront of networking technologies. Duo Security has built a world-class security platform in which they protect organizations against data breaches by ensuring only legitimate users and appropriate devices have access to sensitive data and applications. Both of these companies, in coordination with the State’s expertise, will offer insight into state level perspectives of cybersecurity.

  • Adam Sedgewick, Senior Information Technology Policy Advisor, National Institute of Standards and Technology

    Cybersecurity experts often say that there are two types of businesses—those that have been hacked and know it, and those that have been hacked and don’t know it yet. In 2014, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a cybersecurity framework to help businesses start a cybersecurity program or improve an existing one. Sedgewick will discuss best practices to help early users of the framework better understand it, give business owners tools and tips for strengthening a cybersecurity program, and explore ways to communicate about cyber with small and midsize supply chain partners.

  • 1:25 - 1:55 p.m.
  • Managing Cybersecurity in the C-suite Panel Discussion

    Mark Ford, National Leader, Healthcare Cyber Risk Services, Deloitte & Touche LLP
    Donald J. Welch, Ph.D., Chief Information Security Officer, University of Michigan
    Don Erickson, Chief Executive Officer, Security Industry Association

    The need to address cybersecurity threats to American and global businesses has gone from an IT issue to a top priority for the C-suite and the boardroom. For many businesses, it’s not a matter of if an intrusion will happen, but when. In an interconnected world, economic security and national security are linked. People—business leaders—need to be committed to managing cyber risks to their organizations. Technology is only part of the solution. Are boards and senior managers increasingly governing cybersecurity better? Directors and officers have a duty to protect the assets—e.g., devices and data—of their companies. Do boards and senior executives appreciate the costs—e.g., legal, public relations, regulatory, and reputational—of a consequential attack? What are some effective ways to talk to company leaders about securing cybersecurity resources?
