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?

Re-scheduled for April 14

The Security in The Clouds conference is now rescheduled for April 14.  Recent revelations about the extent of hacking activity over the past 18 months make this topic an imperative for the next generation of compute infrastracture.

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 on April 14.
