Cyber Warfare 2009-Unmissable!

“On your worst day, you want to be able to make sure that the military [cyber]network still works so that you can effect either the defense of the United States or an offensive action, should they be required…The hardest thing we’re going to have to do is to be able to operate this network in time of war. We will be attacked.’
General Kevin Chilton, Commander, Strategic Command, USAF

Brand new speakers confirmed! We are delighted to announce keynote participation of the Italian Navy from:

	Rr Adm Vittorio Emanuele Di Cecco Deputy Chief of Intelligence and Security Department Italian Navy "Italian MOD Cyber Defence Organisation - an outline"
	Cdr. Catello Somma Chief of the Information Assurance Branch and Director of the Defence Cert. Italian Navy "The First International Interministerial Cyber Defence Exercise - CYBER SHOT 2008"

Attacks on government and defence networks are estimated to be in their thousands on a daily basis. Ensuring high level Computer Network Operations capability for military and homeland security is absolutely crucial to the assurance of the information infrastructure. Fears of a large scale attack by an organisation or state could create an effect ‘equal in scale to a weapon of mass destruction’ (General James Cartwright, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Marine Corp). Dual capability in terms of network defence and cyber attack is essential.

Defence IQ’s 2nd annual Cyber Warfare conference is Europe’s most established symposium dedicated to the topical and important issues surrounding Information Assurance (IA) and Computer Network Attack. Identify the essential solutions to ensure Information Systems have the necessary protection and discover the best ways to improve cyber security strategy.
