DEF CON 30 (2022),

The year was 1986 and the arena rock of the 1970s was coming to a whimpering end, while rap had not quite gained a mainstream foothold. The unlikely collaboration between Aerosmith and Run D.M.C. changed the course of music forever, reinvigorating the relevance of rock while bringing rap to the forefront of prominence. This collaboration, unexpected, and by some accounts uncomfortable, paved the way for the future of music and celebrated the genius of innovation of partnership. The cybersecurity community has much to learn from this example of partnership for the better.
Jen Easterly, Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and Jeff Moss, founder and President of DefCon Communications, will discuss the importance of partnership between the Federal Government and the hacker community. The growing partnership through CISA’s recently established Cybersecurity Advisory Committee and the work of the technical advisory council could have the same effect on our future shared cybersecurity posture to truly raise our shared cyber defense. Through this Council, researchers, academics, and technologists are working together with government to evolve how to understand new vulnerabilities, how to identify and encourage adoption of strong security controls, and how to use increasing volumes of security data to derive actionable insights that can be shared across the broader community. #walkthisway
