1105 Government Information Group will present Linda Cureton, chief information officer, National Aeronautics and Space Administration; Chenxi Wang, Principal Analyst, Security and Risk Management, Forrester Research Inc.; and Samuel Chun, director of the Cyber Security Practice for HP Enterprise Services U.S. Public Sector, at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Mar. 31, 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 will address:

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.
Following the presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. The entire series will be made available in an online archive.

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