In recent years, the number and variety of cybersecurity products and services has grown rapidly.  One survey found that organizations use an average of 47 different cybersecurity tools across their networks. This has created challenges for organizations, who can find it difficult to make all of these different products interoperable. What could help would be a common set of standards, protocols, taxonomies, and open source code that can tie these cybersecurity tools together. This event will...

This past October, Google scientists used a quantum computer to solve in just 200 seconds a calculation that would have taken a conventional computer more than 10,000 years. This and other recent  milestones drive home the point  that quantum computing is no longer a technology of the future—it’s already here and already being used.  As quantum computing continues to grow more powerful and more accessible, it will reshape everything from artificial intelligence to encryption. To discuss the...

In an era of global technological competition and diffusion of innovation, the United States must uphold the twin pillars of national security and national innovation. There is a clear need for greater cooperation and engagement on the challenge set within government; between federal, state, and local levels; between governments; and between the public and private sectors. By recognizing its comparative strengths and weaknesses, the United States federal government can take measured steps...
