Cyber-attacks at nuclear power plants don't just happen in Hollywood. That's because places with radioactive materials make incredibly tempting cyber targets.

With this real and ever-present threat, the Information Security Directorate of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) works diligently daily to provide technological protection for our nation's people and environment. Part of their comprehensive approach is to convene semiannually for a 1-day NRC Cybersecurity Seminar & Expo with government and industry sessions that focus on what's new and what's next in cyber.

Held at the NRC headquarters and hosted by the Office of the Chief Information Officer, this event attracts their IT and cyber personnel, as well as their contractors. Internally, NRC promotes the event as "HACK," which stands for "Helpful Applied Cyber Knowledge." Their well-received campaign encourages all NRC technology users to be aware of the impact of their activities on connected devices (both at home and in the workplace) and the threats they may potentially and unknowingly generate.

This event has a long history of solid attendance - from 150 to 200 attendees - and pleased exhibitors. Exhibitors set up in the atrium, which is directly connected to the Auditorium where sessions are held. NRC executives, including the CIO, CISO and Information Security Director, have all attended each expo for the past 2 years. Attendees from previous events included:

• Developers
• Engineers
• IT Analysts and IT Specialists
• Network Engineers and Mobility Engineers
• Project Managers
• Security Analysts and Security Specialists

Library of Congress Cyber Expo

October 30, 2019

Madison Building West Dining Room (LM-621)
Washington, DC
Event Manager:Bob Jeffers bj@fbcinc.com

---

Get in front of an exclusive federal audience: our country's largest and oldest library.

Serving as a research arm of Congress, the Library of Congress (LOC) is responsible for supporting our government in fulfilling its constitutional research duties, and therefore needs high caliber IT and cyber capabilities to ensure the protection of the millions of books, manuscripts, photographs and other documents in its collections.

A perfect event for cyber and IT companies, the Library of Congress Cyber Expo (held during national Cybersecurity Awareness Month) is an important part of the LOC's internal education plan and efforts to engage private industry. Attendees all come from the 3-building LOC complex (which includes the Law Library and Copyright Office), where the internal promotion is excellent.

This event will also be promoted widely to the adjacent House and Senate buildings. Why would such busy legislators attend? Because lawmakers are starting to see their own need for training. In May, House representatives Kathleen Rice and John Katko introduced the Congressional Cybersecurity Training Resolution, requiring House employees to undergo cyber training. For more details, read this story from The Hill (5/2019), which cites Washington Cyber Roundtable Executive Director Barbara George saying, “Cyber awareness within the institution must be all-inclusive….” Few opportunities exist to get facetime with this important group. Don’t miss this one!

Expect a wide audience of attendees who manage our nation's document collection, including program managers, CISO personnel, technology officers and end users. The expo is held in the Mumford Room on the 6th floor of the main library, which is an excellent and centralized venue where LOC employees can network with participating exhibitors.

For the first time, top-in-their-field companies can meet personnel from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) face-to-face at their inaugural Cybersecurity Day. Hosted by the Office of the Chief information Officer (OCIO), this is the only expo hosted on-site at the DOL that allows outside vendors, so it's a wise choice for any company wanting to demonstrate their products or services to this difficult-to-reach team. All DOL employees and contractors receive promotions from FBC. 

U.S. Department of Labor Mission:
To foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers, and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights.

From the U.S. Department of Labor Strategic Plan:

Secure and Enhance the IT Infrastructure
To secure DOL’s sensitive information and improve data integrity, OCIO will focus on modernizing and standardizing DOL’s infrastructure. Following government-wide guidance, OCIO will increase DOL’s overall IT security posture and shift IT investments to more efficient and secure computing platforms and technologies. OCIO will create a centralized enterprise platform to improve service delivery by procuring commodity cloud services and establishing an enterprise cloud environment allowing DOL component agencies to consume cloud services in a centralized manner. Further, OCIO will implement enterprise-wide IT asset management solution to centrally manage all IT assets. In the course of security and enhancing the IT infrastructure, OCIO reduced the DOL’s IT footprint through the consolidation of traditional data centers, promoting the use of Green IT, and reduced the cost of data center hardware.

To enhance safeguards to protect mission critical and sensitive information and reduce risk of unlawful breaches and unauthorized access, OCIO will defend the shared IT environment by rapidly completing technology assessments and using innovative technologies. OCIO will coordinate with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and OMB on implementing a Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program. OCIO will also continue migrating DOL applications to incorporate personal identification verification (PIV) usage, implement a single sign-on solution for logical access, and enable standard single sign-on capabilities across DOL.

Everyone knows the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) has a large and important job to do: collecting revenue to fund our government. But doing that is - of course - a huge undertaking, requiring a robust cyber and IT team to ensure accuracy, safety and security. Meet this team face-to-face at the IRS New Carrollton Federal Building (NCFB) Tech Expo on November 6. The NCFB houses both the IT and Procurement divisions of the IRS, making this event a smart choice for any technology company wanting to get their product or service in front of procurement and IT personnel and contractors. This always popular event has limited capacity. We recommend signing up as early as possible.

General Information:
The IRS New Carrollton Federal Building houses the IT functions for IRS including the Applications Development, Enterprise Operations, Enterprise Services, and Management Associate CIO groups. As of 2015, the Procurement functions from the IRS Oxon Hill Constellation Centre complex have moved into the New Carrollton Federal Building as well.

IRS Background Information:
The IRS employs more than 92,000 people in its Washington, D.C., Headquarters and more than 650 offices in all 50 States, U.S. territories, and some U.S. embassies and consulates and relies extensively on computerized systems to support its financial and mission-related operations. As such, it must ensure that its computer systems are effectively secured to protect sensitive financial and taxpayer data. The IRS needs to ensure that it leverages viable technology advances as it modernizes its major systems and improves its overall operational environment.

From Objective 5 of the IRS Strategic Plan:
INVEST IN INNOVATIVE, SECURE TECHNOLOGY NEEDED TO PROTECT TAXPAYER DATA AND SUPPORT TAXPAYER, PARTNER AND IRS BUSINESS NEEDS.
At the core of our operations is an IT infrastructure that has served us well for many years. We take pride in our ability to administer the Tax Code each filing season, and the strength of our IT systems and applications are a strong asset in doing so. We have implemented various initiatives in recent years to modernize our IT systems, enable daily return processing, improve the breadth of digital taxpayer services and enhance the security of our systems to successfully combat cyber threats. These efforts have been crucial to our success, and we must continue to innovate our technology systems over the next four years.
As taxpayers’ needs change, security threats increase and technologies evolve, we will invest in the appropriate technology and IT workforce skills to support and improve our operations. We will continue to reduce disparate IT systems and apply a common architecture to be more responsive to IRS business needs. We will bolster the security of our IT systems and enhance authentication capabilities to broaden digital services to taxpayers and stakeholders. Furthermore, we will apply technology to reduce our dependence on manual processing and equip our workforce with tools that improve their performance and provide greater workplace flexibility. By improving collaboration and governance between business and IT, we will ensure our technology capabilities meet the needs of taxpayers, partners and the IRS workforce.

Strategies:

• Ensure a common, robust technology and data architecture exists to improve core tax administration, support cost-effective operations and protect IRS data, systems and networks from security breaches.
• Develop the authentication capabilities and technology required to expand secure, digital services to taxpayers.
• Enable electronic workflow that reduces or eliminates manual processing.
• Further develop a flexible and agile technology environment that enables IT to better meet business needs.
• Provide our workforce with reliable, advanced technology that enhances performance and enables flexibility.
