Keynote Address

 

Michael V. Hayden is a retired United States Air Force four-star general and former Director of the National Security Agency and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. He was the first Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, a position which once made him "the highest-ranking military intelligence officer in the armed forces. General Hayden is currently a principal at the Chertoff Group, a security consultancy co-founded by former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

The threat landscape in national security is in a constant state of flux, with new threats emerging and existing threats becoming ever more sophisticated. The evolving threat environment means government must work more closely with the private sector to confront these challenges.

General Hayden will examine what is driving today's emerging threat landscape and what can we expect to see during 2011 and beyond. Equally important, how should security managers best prepare to deal with these challenges.
