Security by Collaboration: Social Media & Security

1105 Government Information Group presents Chenxi Wang, principal analyst, security and risk management, Forrester Research Inc.; U.S. Navy Rear Admiral (Ret.) Elizabeth A. Hight, vice president, U.S. Defense Command and Control Infrastructure Practice, HP; and John L. Hopkins, lead, IT policy and communications, Office of the Chief Information Officer at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, in this recent eSeminar, where they will discuss the security barriers to adopting collaboration tools across the government from a human resources and leadership perspective.

Social media and collaboration tools promise a host of benefits to the federal government, but security vulnerabilities are only the first of a long list of barriers to adoption. Even the internal network faces challenges. While technology will play a role in the solution, growing research suggests that many security vulnerabilities are not failures of technology, but failures at the human resources and leadership level.

This presentation addresses:

• Security vulnerabilities facing government use of collaboration tools;
• The leadership imperative in cybersecurity at an agency-wide level;
• Case-studies of agencies that have successfully overcome the barriers facing adoption; and
• A discussion of tools and techniques that can reduce security incidents and make agencies better stewards of information.

All 1105 Government Information Group events in this series are free of charge.

Duration: 1 hour
