Shared Vision:Ensure our Government is trained, integrated,equipped and secure in Cyberspace.

Welcome


On behalf of our government and industry partners that worked together to build this

event, it is my pleasure to welcome you to this year's Symantec Government Symposium.

The theme of this year’s Symposium is "Critical Connections.” To better understand

the connections among Federal, state and local, and private sectors, we conducted a

research study that examined each sector’s information security priorities and attitudes.

We found that all of you have many of the same concerns.

Data breaches and loss of sensitive data rank as a key priority even though there were

different levels of preparedness across those groups. Also, nearly 75 percent of all

respondents indicated strong support for the National Cyber Security Initiative (NCSI).

You will have the opportunity to discuss these issues throughout today’s Symposium.

As you attend the sessions and network with your peers, we encourage you to

engage and learn from each other to forge the critical connections that will help us

to create a more secure cyber frontier. You will have the opportunity to hear from

distinguished speakers on topics that impact you most including, information protection,

governance, infrastructure management, FISMA, Certification and Accreditation, and

data center consolidation.

We have a great program and hope you enjoy the Symposium. Thank you for joining

us to learn more about how we can help you secure and manage your information.

Sincerely,

John W. Thompson

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
