Last week Fortinet’s vice president of Federal operations, Jeff Lake, participated in a webcast hosted by BreakingPoint Systems on cyber security and defense in depth. Other participants included Dennis Cox, BreakingPoint CTO, and Bruce Brody, managing partner and executive vice president of VISKO.

As reported on the BreakingPoint blog, the team discussed the following points:

  • Best practices for planning defense in depth
  • The important role of training in securing your network
  • How to break through the current “clique” of security professionals to involve more people
  • Why the Government needs to include computer security lessons in our schools
  • The potential role of USCYBERCOM

The full replay can be found on the BreakingPoint blog.
