  available\n\n   Description:\n   Just like there's more than one way to p
 eel a banana\, there’s more\n   than one way to protect a computer netwo
 rk from being pwned. Cyber\n   threats against America’s pipelines\, rai
 lroads and aviation system\n   are increasing\, and the Transportation Sec
 urity Administration –\n   with support from the White House\, the Cyber
 security and\n   Infrastructure Security Agency and Congress – is hackin
 g traditional\n   cybersecurity policy to improve resiliency for the growi
 ng connected\n   transportation sector. How? TSA isn’t telling regulated
  parties\n   exactly the ways they should secure their own systems. Instea
 d\, the\n   agency is asking them to produce and provide plans for ensurin
 g they\n   protect their critical assets.\n\n   America’s adversaries ar
 e sophisticated\, and TSA needs help from the\n   hacking community to thi
 nk creatively about future attacks\, to\n   identify new vulnerabilities\,
  and to provide innovative new ways of\n   measuring success. This talk wi
 ll tell you what TSA is seeing\, gives\n   you a chance to offer us advice
 \, and to learn specific ways in which\n   you can contribute to new proje
 cts. Because always in motion the\n   future is.\n\n   '\n\n   1. #Caesars
