From Nextgov.com: Expert Dialogue--The Cybersecurity Challenge

Today, we're pleased to debut a new feature on Nextgov: Expert Dialogues. Expert Dialogues is your chance to engage in conversations with leading practitioners and observers on key issues of the day. In each dialogue, we take your questions for a week, forward them to an expert, then publish the responses. All the while, you can continue the conversation in our discussion forums. For our first dialogue, we've selected the burning issue of cybersecurity in the federal sphere. Staying ahead of the rapidly evolving threats to information systems is a critical imperative not only for managers of those systems, but for all federal employees. Everyone has a role to play in ensuring the security of data. Our expert is Adam Ross, managing editor at the SANS Institute, an information security training and research firm. He covers a wide range of cybersecurity issues for Nextgov's Cybersecurity Report. This is your chance to ask Adam about everything from emerging developments in cybersecurity to tips on keeping your data secure. Enter your questions during the week of Oct. 18-22, then come back on Nov. 1 to see his responses. Join the Dialogue: The Cybersecurity Challenge
