The Triple-I Corporation, an Overland Park, KS based management consulting and technology services company, is pleased to announce that the next discussion in the Triple- I Executive Forum Series: Cyber Security - Prosperity and Security in the Global Economy will be held at the Intercontinental Hotel- Kansas City At The Plaza, Thursday, August 6th, 2009. Networking and registration will begin at 4:30 p.m.; approximate conclusion time is 7:30 p.m. Drinks and an appetizer buffet will be provided prior to the presentation which will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Cyber Security - Prosperity and Security in the Global Economy:    The U.S. national security apparatus—which includes the defense, intelligence, law enforcement, and homeland security communities—will become exponentially more reliant on technology in the coming decade. This technological progress will be driven by U.S. industry (rather than the government itself), and many of these security-based capabilities will have their roots in commercial applications.  Because of this reliance, foreign intelligence collection and corporate espionage efforts will increasingly be directed at industry targets rather than traditional “espionage” targets. In light of this, if the United States is to protect and maintain its security capabilities, both the government and industry will have to adopt new paradigms for assessing vulnerabilities and protecting technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, and fundamental research and development.  

The round table discussion will be facilitated by Christopher P. Simkins and members of the FBI.  Simkins is cofounder of The Laconia Group, a consulting and technology development firm focused on national security matters. He spent three years with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), first in the Counterespionage Section and then as Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorneys General for the Criminal Division and the National Security Division. While with DOJ, Mr. Simkins led a wide range of national security investigations and prosecutions and worked closely with the FBI and the Intelligence Community on counterespionage, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, and weapons proliferation matters. He was a principal liaison between DOJ and the Intelligence Community for investigating disclosures of classified information to the media and was involved in interagency insider threat initiatives. He is actively involved in advising government agencies on counterintelligence matters.

This event is free to invited guests; however, reservations are required as space is limited. 

Registration can be made via email to execevent@triplei.com or by calling The Triple-I Corporation at 913-563-7205.
