And each of you in this room are here because you serve. You serve in the military, and the intelligence community, and defensive or work for contractors and allies who serve the u. S.

So, you have heard enough from me, him on with the program and to hear our great speakers which is why you are here. So now lets get started. First off its a great honor to introduce our first fireside chat on defending the nation against cyber attacks. And general Paul Nakasone director of the nsa and chief of Central Security service. We had the honor of having him at last to speak for us five years ago just months after assuming his current role. He described that some a vision for persistence in cyberspace. A strategy which has been hugely helpful to among other countries, ukraine. Its yet another example of his inspired leadership. If you have had a chance i suggest you google that speech he gave for us back in 2018 to see how truly prissy and it was. Best of all, both many of you know besides the exceptionally smart hes equally humble. Its an honor to introduce you to this fireside chat with general nakasone conducted by the Vice President u. S. Federal government nonprofit and Global Health at amazon web services. Enjoyed the event. I will see you on the tail end on friday. Thank you very much. I now to dave. [applause] [applause] [applause] thank you. Alright sir, it looks like we are helping kick this thing off for. Is good to see again the day progressed good to see you. Before we get started just want to say from me and all of my colleagues i would suspect many others just thank you. Thank you for your service. Thank you for defending us, protecting us. And having our backs. You and your team and everybody. Your service is incredible and we are behind you one 100 . [applause] thank you. [applause] i could barely get this on the cue card but as a fourstar general for the u. S. Army director of the national Nationalsecurity Agency who ovee nations premier signals in cybersecurity and intelligent service. And the commander of the nine states cyber calm. Is there more . Theres probably more and forgetting some. But it has been a five years later in your leadership what has changed . Dave, before we begin let me first of all thank tom and susan billington. It is great to be back here at the cybersecurity summit. The fact we have 3000 folks register, toted speakers and a number of buy own agency and command it really speaks to i think the importance. That ties a bit into the answer to your first question of what has changed . First of all with change in the security environment. I was coming up to speak here we were all focused on 2018 Midterm Election have a safe and secure election. We were thinking certainly about intellectual property and intrusions into systems. But everything we have seen since we werent talking about 2018 but here the other things i think that are also important as a security environment. Certainly china at our pace and challenged russia in acute threat. Think about the progression of where we seen russia since 2018. The second piece is cybersecurity is National Security. Foti said that 2018 that probably wouldve raised a lot of eyebrows. But what have we seen since 2019 . We have seen supply chain. We have seen rent somewhere. We have seen a number of Different Actors that have changed who provided an Inflection Point this is the National Security issue. But heres the other part i dont think is often talked about which is think about how the nations responded since 2018. New authorities, cyber solarium. Often the National Cyber directory. Fantastic work, fbi, nsa Cyber Command. Tremendous outpouring of what we need to make sure cybersecurity is part of her National Security. And im a little closer to home. I would say what we do has not changed that much. Let nsa we still do cybersecurity that signals intelligence i recommend we do cyberspace operation. But how we do it has changed dramatically. Fifty different operations 23 Different Countries 77 Different Network since 2018 the cyberspace the Cybersecurity Collaboration Center nsa unclassified, zero b
