Moderating a wonderful thing. What a wonderful way to end the program. We are thrilled and honored to have you so thank you very much again. We appreciate it. Please welcome cybersecurity chief of staff, charles look at leget. We have three general sessions with dni haynes. If you have enjoyed the many dynamic conversations both on and off stage during the past few days sure to bookmark billington cybersecuritys state and local summit march 19 and 20. Additionally we have a dozen webinars coming out this october for Cyber SecurityAwareness Month so make sure to book that one too. This morning it again with a fireside featuring anna newburger. Deputy National Security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies. This fireside is titled building a National Strategy to protect our ancient sectors. The white house has taken an active role in engaging with public and private leaders to foster and embrace technological change but also to ensure that security and responsible guideposts are included. This mornings fireside will be moderated by i, brad mcgarry executive Vice President bruce allen. Please join me in giving these two a warm welcome and a round of applause. Good morning. I think i can speak for everyone in this room when i say its an honor honored to be there. I know you just got in from a flight last night. Thank you its terrific to be here. Are excited to have an important conversation this morning about cybersecurity and National Security and when we get started . We will Start Talking and take a moment to reflect. Youre in the third year of. We have accomplished so much. Theres so much happening. I like to start by getting some of your thoughts around some of your key Lessons Learned. I am really excited to talk about the hard work and the victories President Bidens team cyber has worked on but first i would and would paint the picture. We have seen a shift from hardware to software. Anyone can do software. They also made the ease of attack simpler and we have seen several individuals talk about Software Defined warfare and finally we are pleasantly a nation of law, regulations and morals that guide our work. All our adversaries work in the same way. Covered by strict rules regarding. Those three principles the shift from hardware to software and the regulations governing our work to make the victories i will talk about while hard won and significant we will always be in this forever war so to your point as we look at that i often think about 3ps. Will they . Preparation, International Partnerships in the private sector. We ask ourselves a core question in each of that to see where we are and track the progress of team cyber that we do. Certainly ukraine has showed us the work that has been done to prepare for the invasion of ukraine to prepare towards this one made ukraine far better prepared for the significant attacks it would see. I recall in the three weeks before the war and we were talking with european allies and we expected brushes invasion to come. We were talking about the injury energy grade fundamental. As we all know its incredibly difficult to defend an energy grade thats physically connected and they made a tough call. They have been working to do that. That preparation, the question for us in the United States is on the digital doors and windows of our before the beginning of president Bidens Administration we cannot not because there wasnt good Public Private partnership but because fundamentally the question we need to know is there are 97 critical pipelines in the country. Have they patched the most recent vulnerability . To put it in place, various sectors require Critical Infrastructure to do particular things and it gives us the ability for pipeline and aviation and rail. I will talk more about the additional effect is to have a rating of the Key Companies in that sector. Thats game changing. The response to significant sanctions. We were able to answer that sector for the question for the pipeline sector regulations had been put in place. The first measure of our preparation as a country is the answer to that question. We track it closely and we were together to ensure we can answer that question better and better. How do we ensure we get to second, International Partnerships. Key question. Is every piece of knowledge intelligence and cybersecurity advised that we have have we shared that . We will talk more about a number of initiatives underway but that is a driving question President Biden always asks because partnership is so much of what we do. And then private sector. Whether it space x and starling or the tremendous Work Companies have done to help ukraine. Balance of power shifted to a key company reached out to me the evening of russias invasion of ukraine. You see signs of destructive capabilities being the way we measure our progress in defending Critical Infrastructure in United States you talk about some of those Lessons Learned and be interested in terms of how you are thinking of those into future policies. President biden talks about how technology and cyber are core to geopolitics today and indeed lets pick an area of artificial intelligence. We know the combination we had breakthroughs in the next few years. We signed an agreement with European Union. Our goals were not only to drive the technical approaches and ill talk about what the five areas are our goals were to share that the u. S. And the eu could do tech together that we could put in place the data protection. This is core to how we compete in our values. For certain areas we think both the promise of emerging technologies and the parallels. And in our policy approaches we want to make sure that we are advancing on the promise hence the agreement with the European Union and those five areas and also very much focused on the parents. And as b. C. Because what we talked about we are a nation of that drives our work. That is core to our competition in that space particularly with china and just for the group those areas are extreme weather prediction, agricultural driven by the impact of extreme climates droughts floods and how we grow crops and how we ensure that we can still have the Food Production we need. Optimization of our electricity grid. We try to bring a different kind of energy and we try to drive to a world where more infirm that people use electronic vehicles. Health, there is such exciting advances between the u. S. And the eu in the area of vision, medical aging, detection and family emergency management. How to ensure that we can rest on more effect only to emergencies and certainly the role of satellite in helping us have the imagery to respond to emergencies and how we do object detection more effectively in ai. We have worked on those products for many years. Those guy our policy approaches. Managing while pressing forward on the progress. Thank you, thinking back youre talking about the progress we made in terms of Critical Infrastructure. Looking back we have been involved in the space for 10 years. We have made more progress in the last three years than the last 10. Looking a lot at the Critical Infrastructure in terms of what the prospect of is next steps will increase partnership. Its a really good question. Lets underpin the significant progress as you say because i agree has been more progress the last three years the last 15. It has been a shift from a voluntary model because we recognize that i mentioned earlier when President Biden asked the question what is the risk of blowback. As good as partnership could be very different when one shares threat information and when one shares vulnerability with a Pipeline Company with a real company in the regular say whats the plan to fix this . Then hold the company to that. Of course a part of that is of course a partnership. We need to be sharing that information actively but we also need to have a regulators have the ability be at the table. First thing of the sector well. Second that gives us the confidence because Critical Infrastructure in this country is a zero failed mission. Zero failed in every country and as i travel around the world and talk to policymakers we are all grappling with that. You rightly pointed to this the fact that we all are citizens a confidence that they will have clean water. He will be able to get gas a gas to go to work in a Pipeline System will not be down. So that has been the biggest fundamental shift and like i said that underpinned by really fantastic information sharing with the Intelligence Community doing the joint. Also a shout out to the team to the recent one in Critical Infrastructure and laid out practical actionable mitigations to help companies and finally really finally is the work where we are aiming to do this with the private sector. To drive more secure products. Lighthouse launched a Cyber Trustmark last month and the goal of Cyber Trustmark was bringing together and bridging three communities. Consumers who tell us they want more secure tech in their home schools and businesses. Companies say okay, we will build more secure tech but how we differentiate ourselves to come to people we are shopping with . And our goal is government is to use our integrity. People trust in energy because they know that there is the government standing behind that in the standard and certification so that launched a shout out to the chairwoman of the fcc. His team to the hard work to pull that together. And this was the standard following on the executive order. That program has launched in our aim is to have iot Mark Products the Cyber Trustmark in stores online. Amazon has agreed to prioritize it. Thinks giving of 2024. Please look out for that. Some of my discussions in brussels how we mutually recognize certain products so they can be folded multiple markets and the department of energy is working on a standard for smart routers. Im sorry smart meters this is working on one for smart routers revision is to expand the number of products that have a Cyber Trustmark so we will run a Consumer Education campaign and this really shows you the way we have been working across to build that team cyber approach. This standard and the fcc running the program the department of Energy Building standards and then fundamentally we are a company that plays a role both in to meet those new standards and Companies Like best buy amazon who said we are thrilled to be a partner to help consumers buy safer tech. This conference convenes a lot of different product companies. I can tell you one of the things that i have heard is secure by design so i think the industry is. One of the other lessons was around foreign partnerships. Certainly played allied partner certainly played a key role in russia and ukraine as we shift to more focus on the pacific i would love to get your perspective around how the government continuing to strengthen these partnerships and the role of the coalition there. A great question. President biden talks about this as a part of everything we do. We cannot operate alone. The more countries we operate with the more we can be a force for prostate positive progress in the world. I will talk about three examples of approaches that we have been working on. President biden, welcome president chavez of costa rica to the white house last week and costa rica had been a cohost of the summit for democracy. From a cyber perspective costa rica, president chavez called out was the first one in latin america to call out russias invasion of ukraine. I think we mentioned use the word criminal and they face significant Cyber Attacks thereafter. A shout out to the fbi who and the u. S. Ambassador. Fbi had a team on the ground the next day to ensure we can help costa rica rapidly recover because all of their Government Systems were in need to order medical Services Online and they were all disrupted. And then the state department worked closely to put together a 25 million grant to help fundamentally coaster rica build out the cyber resilience. That money is already working on the ground. A part of that is money serving through south con both for the country and for the military and finally recognizing that the nations infrastructure, the telecommunications is the foundation of security. We did the first ever xm financing grant of 300 million to help coaster rica move off of a 5g infrastructure to trusted infrastructure and again a shout out to rita joe for her work doing that first other xm 300 Million Financing grant for the 5g trusted infrastructure in coaster rica so thats one example. The focus to ensure that when a key partner has a major cyber attack we can help put the nations resources on the ground to help them recover quickly, to help them build the resilience and then fundamentally to ensure their Telecommunications Infrastructure which is the foundation of the country is secure. The second model of International Partnership is her International Counsel counter ransomware which will be convening in 21st on d. C. Its a Global Partnership to fight cybercrime. The u. S. Is disruptive hospitals. It disrupted schools. Companies are facing that certainly is a major issue and its a problem that has Prime Minister modi said have attackers in one country, largely based in russia so they are often beyond the reach of law enforcement. Infrastructure around the world and moving around the world so convening that Global Partnership is what the United States did and they have grown it as a key part of our work. We are working the first ever statement on a coordinated approach to ransom payments, what our policy will be. I will be a major take away. 47 countries and a statement in that area. And then the final, final example of our International Partnerships, it is the virtual cyber incident capability response. Europe faces significant risk of russian attacks and there have been a number of them and we wanted to ensure that if there was a attack all the members of nato could quickly and coordinated response. International partnerships is a major part of the work we are doing is also a major part where we worked hard to innovate with different models based on the different kinds of partnerships that are needed. Some, bilateral some very large and multilateral and some smaller and focus. A lot of industry in this room. Across the United States the Industrial Base has built a tremendous capability around Cyber Security and support the commercial industry in the u. S. Government. How can industry best help our foreign partners . Thats a great question. When we do a 25 million grant to costa rica thats for a private sector or Cyber Security support Rapid Response capability certainly the fact that the u. S. Is one of the leading innovator nations in Cyber Security is what underpins our ability to project our vision of a secure cybers cyberspace. I think that work certainly a part, the information sharing, frankly between companies, the power of connecting the Network Internet routers with endpoint detection at each endpoint and the sharing that happens across our private sector is also a force for good so driving more of that is a piece and then finally like i mentioned, you mentioned secure by design, a major effort by my colleague. Consumers can tell if it is secure by design and build secure. Build your projects to that. Lets have a vision together that for the United States the end of 2025 every i o to product. Every rider in this country has a Cyber Trustmark label. So that consumers are buying more secure tech otherwise i will put it in a positive way. With that approach we can Work Together to enable a more secure cyberspace. The glass is halffull. I like that. Yes, its the only way in this business, you know that. You talked about how every conference has a theme i would say. Here this week a lot of conversation around artificial intelligence. What about the opportunity but theres also presents risks. Investor fick last night talked about trust and speed is based upon trust so i be interesting to hear your perspective and how we move towards that trust mod
