Networks, the industry’s leading Big Data Security Intelligence and
Analytics provider, announced that it will host an exclusive
cybersecurity event on Friday, November 16, exploring the current cyber
landscape. General Michael Hayden, now a principal at The Chertoff
Group, will deliver a keynote speech highlighting the latest
developments surrounding cyber threats nationally and worldwide. Several
prominent security executives will also examine the evolution of
cybersecurity and the development of technologies designed to respond
to, and defend against, advanced persistent threats.
General Hayden will address how emerging threats and technological
advancements are impacting organizations worldwide, as well as the
importance of security intelligence and analytics in analyzing and
responding swiftly to advanced targeted attacks and cybersecurity risks.
As director of the Central Intelligence Agency, General Hayden was
responsible for overseeing the collection of information concerning the
plans, intentions and capabilities of America’s adversaries; producing
timely analysis for decision makers; and conducting covert operations to
thwart terrorists and other enemies of the U.S. Prior to the CIA,
General Hayden served as the country’s first Principal Deputy Director
of National Intelligence and was the highest-ranking intelligence
officer in the armed forces. At The Chertoff Group, General Hayden uses
his broad geographic and political knowledge to brief clients on
intelligence matters worldwide — including developments in cyber
security — that may affect their businesses.
