As our knowledge and understanding of innovation increases, we rely more and more on technology for commerce, utilities, transportation, financial transactions, social engagements and entertainment. We realize these systems are fragile and are likely targets of our enemies.   The challenges faced by a rapidly evolving threat and constantly changing battlefield means that tools, techniques and procedures we use to engage our enemy need to adapt just as quickly.    A panel of community leaders, educators and information security experts will discuss the role of innovation, community and training as a way of empowering or enhancing the cyber industry to adapt at the speed of the threat and protect our national interests across the security spectrum.
