Cyber Deterrence Symposium webcast

As I type this, I’m sitting in a seventh-floor conference area at George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs, listening to the keynote speaker for the second of five panels today in the “Cyber Deterrence Symposium,” a joint production of INSA (the Intelligence and National Security Alliance), and the Homeland Security Policy Institute.

If you’re reading this on the day of the symposium (Monday November 2, 2009), you can tune in to the live webcast of the speakers and panels. It is a stellar line-up, see the roster below.

There’s a follow-on conference tomorrow at which I’ll be participating in a panel; however Day 2 is a series of classified sessions at another facility, and won’t be available as a webcast…  If you’re a really talented hacker and you’re able to watch tomorrow’s sessions over the web, drop me a line and let me know how 🙂
