Cybersecurity expert JANE LUTE leads an insightful presentation on homeland security, exploring the pivotal role individuals and communities play in maintaining national safety and resilience against emerging threats.

Created a dozen years ago in the wake of 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has no problem with brand name recognition. It is continually challenged, however, with brand name understanding. Lute explores the following questions:

  • Why do we have DHS?
  • What does it do?
  • How does it work?
  • How will we know it’s succeeding?
  • Is there a difference between National Security and Homeland Security?

Global cybersecurity executive JANE LUTE shares the transformative impact of technology and innovation on global peacekeeping efforts, highlighting cutting-edge solutions that enhance mission effectiveness and stability.

While security is typically something that modern societies assign to their governments — governments run the police, the military, make the laws, etc. — there have been no clear or consistent assignments to governments for security in cyberspace. Indeed, governments everywhere are struggling to define and assert their own proper role in cyberspace as the Internet expands at the rate of over 100 new users per minute. How well are nation-states, international institutions, or even the major multinational corporations coping with these developments?
