This Symposium is part of a review being conducted by the Department of Commerce Internet Policy Task Force, which was initiated by Secretary Gary Locke. The task force is investigating cybersecurity strategies, the roles of the private and public sectors in cybersecurity in the commercial arena, and the relationship of cybersecurity policy to consumer welfare, job creation, and international trade.
As part of its initiative to ensure that the Internet continues to function in ways that spawn growth and innovation, the Department of Commerce will hold the symposium "Cybersecurity and Innovation in the Information Economy" on July 27, 2010, at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The event is designed for all interested stakeholders to participate and comment on the relationship between cybersecurity in the commercial space and innovation in the Internet economy, with a particular emphasis on businesses that operate non-critical infrastructure
