have to participate in the cybersecurity enhancement? >> guest: well i think for the most part it will be a voluntary and collaborative process with industry for them to participate if you sort of look through the executive order and follow how the framework is laid out, first you have myth leading a collaborative process with the national institutes of standards and technology leading and collaborative process to develop the framework and then the department of homeland security will set up a voluntary program to encourage adoption of that framework. at the same time the primary regulators in the federal government will look at their regulations and requirements into system relative to that framework that it has developed. and if they believe that their regulations and requirements are not sufficient in that area, then they could in theory and pose new regulations or executive actions that would require infrastructure to be brought up to that level. but i think for the most part you will find will be a voluntary process for a company to

michael, can you tell us, please, how would the cybersecurity executive order improve cybersecurity for the businesses that take part? what would these standards do to operationally improve security? >> guest: sure. so if you look at what we're really trying to do, it's really taking the best practices that are already at stand from the leading companies that really do cybersecurity well and spreading those out to the companies that don't do it quite as well yet. so really i think that what you'll see as this framework develops is it's really about taking the standards and practices that are already well known and putting them together in a coherent framework that a company could adopt. i think what you'll see is this will enable companies to better close known loopholes, have a more rigorous process for insuring that they know that their cybersecurity is actually where they are and what they need to be doing, and i think what you'll see is it'll help close a lot of the known vulnerabilities and the easy accesses that the bad guys have right now. >> host: now, those sorts of standards,

the goal is to improve cybersecurity. i would say that the other thing that you can do in the executive order is that it is is designed to be highly collaborative and have industry be the one that is defining those standards. >> michael daniel, in the information sharing, you're right it is the policy of the u.s. government to end prove the and quality of cyber -- improve the quality of cyber security. our u.s. entities required to share my information with the government as well? >> the president can only direct executive branch agencies to take action. under the executive order, only the entities are on the federal side. we would like companies to share more information with the federal government. we are working to encourage them to do so. we are working to have that happen. that is an area where we need legislation to deal with some of the issues that are in that space to enable more information to flow back to the private sector and to the government that the text privacy and several -- protects privacy and civil lib

cybersecurity must be a shared collective endeavor. so i'm asking everybody in the audience today, help us make the information sharing processes we are setting up work and useful. help us make the framework effective, useful it reflects the leads and concerns of industry. and then help us put these frameworks into place. finally, this executive order is really just a down payment. it's a down payment on legislation. because while there's a lot that we can and will do under this executive order, as the president indicated last night, we still need legislation to do with many of the critical aspects of cybersecurity. so we look forward to working with congress to develop legislation that can pass both houses of congress and the that the president can sign. so at this point what our elected is off like to ask general keith alexander from the nation's good agency and cyber command to come forward and talk a little bit about the underlying importance of this issue and why the executive order is a key first step. please welcome general alex

and also our office of cybersecurity and communications which has focused on the cybersecurity and our communications. that's a good name, tells you what it does. that we are now able to bring those things together, and we have a real appreciation for the ways in which physical and cyber are inexorably intertwined. they really cannot be separated and the critical infrastructure arena. and again how i know i am preaching to the choir here. all of you i think understand the notion that you cannot have good sign or security without good physical security. you know, protecting access to your i.t. infrastructure. it is as important as all the sophisticated technologies that you put in place for cybersecurity. similarly, these days you cannot have good physical security without a good cybersecurity because our physical security measures and tools are so often connected to the internet now. and so we understand the potential vulnerabilities of surveillance cameras, for example, and the access control system, etc.. so in the security cents you have to look across the board holistically. but th

our plan can be seen michigan.gov/cybersecurity. in every state, employees are both our greatest asset and sadly, the weakest link against cyberattack. and users mistakes are the number one cause of the data breeches. whether they click on the phishing scams or provide unauthorized access to sensitive data. in the past, michigan developed training that quickly became outdated, boring and quite frankly was a failure. we learned from our mistakes and now we offer new statewide cyber awareness training and we call it 2.0 for all employees. reef interactive pleasants delivered to employees over the web in a relevant, timely and hopefully even fun activities offered users. feedback this far is overwhelmingly positive with employees praising the approach and even sharing the information with family members at home. let's not forget technical training for staff. in 2012, partnering with the network we lost the michigan cyber range. the state of the art training and testing facility provides a secure environment for cyber response, training

cybersecurity is more like piloting a plane.get a little bit good at it but you take thousands of hours of stick time on an airplane to be a great fighter pilot. security people are exactly the same way. with a few hours you can talk about it. with a few hundred hours you can do it at a pedestrian level. but the people we need have a thousand hours or more of training in simulators, time in simulators just like pilots. melissa: so are people funneling into that industry then? are they beginning to get that experience? are they out there or do they not know these jobs exist? where is the hold back? >> the holdback is that there haven't been good simulators and hasn't been a lot of good online, i'm sorry, hand on training for a long time. just in the last three or four years the air force has pioneered in developing simulators and training programs that have a lot of hand-on work. now, we and others are taking air force learning and spreading it so banks get same people and hospitals get the same people and rest of government get
