Reception

The Securing the Internet Project, launched last November and led by Distinguished Fellow Orson Swindle, Former FTC Commissioner, works to identify public and private sector best practices concerning Internet Security. The project hosted its first Internet Security Summit on May 10th in Washington, D.C. The event was intended to provide a forum to address such issues as the scope and nature of Internet security threats and the appropriate responses of the public and private sector. The agenda included panel discussions highlighting the responses of businesses, government and the consumer. Conference attendees, included executives from Internet security companies and high-level government officials, and also worked to identify a set of voluntary best practices in the public realm.
