The Northern Virginia Technology Council’s (NVTC) 2016 Capital Cybersecurity Summit will take place on November 2-3, 2016, and will bring together the Greater Washington region’s technology community. This event will feature keynote speakers and panel discussions offering unique insights on emerging cybersecurity technologies, digital solutions, operations and enforcement from the private sector, government and academic perspectives.
John Wood, CEO and chairman of the board of Telos Corporation, a leading provider of continuous security solutions and services for the world’s most security-conscious agencies and organizations, will moderate an insightful panel discussion titled, “Pick One: Security Compliance or Managed Cyber Risk.” The panel will address whether security compliance and managed risk are mutually exclusive or interdependent, and the role of insurance.
