Carrying On with Continuity of Operations
More than 80 percent of the federal systems
count on private sector critical
infrastructure to work.
Should one of the telecommunications,
electricity or other providers be hacked or go
down from a natural disaster, agency mission
would be in peril.
Just take last summer's Derecho that impacted
the Washington DC area. One agency lost their
connection to the Internet for some time
because of the storm even though their
infrastructure was in the cloud.
Over the past decade or more, agencies have
applied the lessons learned from the
assortment of man-made and natural disasters
that have impacted their services to keep
their services running as smoothly as
possible.
But with the emergence of cloud computing,
virtualization, mobile computing and other
technologies, what should agencies keep in
mind to ensure the continuity of operations?
How is the idea of COOP and disaster recovery
changing?
The panel, Carrying on with Continuity of
Operations, will look at how agencies have
implemented COOP and disaster recovery over
the past decade and where they need to go
next.

Architecting Defense-in-Detail
August 11th at 11:05am
The DoD GIG IA Portfolio Management Office (GIAP) has learned through experience that mission critical networks are contested, violated, infiltrated and penetrated, leading to significant risks to US interests. The U.S. critical infrastructure has evolved from a ‘network enabled' position to one that is now ‘network dependent.' No aspect of the national critical infrastructure operates without extensive use of information technology, and it is this very fact that makes our networks such a high priority target for adversaries.
The need for secure, self-aware, proactively managed defense mechanisms has never been more critical. Commercially available technologies, when combined with research and development done by both the government and the private sector, represent the best possible approach for combating the types of threats our critical infrastructure is facing today.
