Where Government and Industry Collaborate

 Serving the Needs of Government and Industry

The Association for Enterprise Information facilitates collaboration between government and industry.  We are a non-profit, member-driven organization serving the needs of our industry and government partners.

AFEI is an affiliate of the National Defense Industrial Association, the premier association for the defense industrial base.

 Is There Security in Cloud Computing?

CONFERENCE POSTPONED

The Security in The Clouds conference has been postponed due to difficult travel conditions resulting from the weekend snow storm with more snow expected Tuesday and Wednesday.  The conference will be rescheduled for late March or early April. 

On Tuesday, February 2 Admiral Dennis Blair testified that “in the dynamic of cyberspace, the technology balance right now favors malicious actors rather than legal actors, and is likely to continue that way for quite some time.”

"Sensitive information is stolen daily from government and private-sector networks and intelligence officials often find persistent, unauthorized, and sometimes unattributable presences on exploited network."

“We cannot be certain that our cyberspace infrastructure will remain available and reliable during a time of crisis."

Learn about intersection of Cloud Computing and Cyber Security at the AFEI Security in the Clouds conference next week.
