Cybersecurity – Defend Critical Assets and Secure the Global Supply Chain

An Industry / Government Partnership to Counter the Digital Threat

Cybersecurity is at a critical juncture. The threat landscape has changed significantly, with hacktivism and advanced persistent threats challenging both enterprise and government IT defenses. The changing cybersecurity environment has profound implications for enterprise architecture, software assurance, information security management, and for supply chain security.

In an increasingly uncertain world, the need to establish and maintain the necessary levels of integrity in a global supply chain is more important than ever. Identifying risks and eliminating vulnerabilities that could undermine integrity is key to supply chain security. The Open Group Conference will provide valuable insight into a critical point of ensuring trust and integrity in your supply chain, i.e. how to prevent or mitigate problems through effective and efficient use of the commercial technologies and IT processes upon which much of society’s critical infrastructure depends. This is a significant global challenge and a top priority for governments, vendors, component suppliers, integrators and commercial enterprises around the world.

• Learn how The Open Group is working with government and business to protect supply chain integrity through global standards, best practices and guidelines in ICT Supply Chain Management, Enterprise Architecture, Information Security, High Assurance, and Cloud Computing.
• Understand what processes you should have in place to assure the technology and data you rely on are dependable and secure.
• Learn about the latest initiatives in supply chain integrity, which can be implemented within your organization to deliver tangible business benefits.
