GFIRST is DHS's premier cyber conference and continually seeks to enhance collaborative efforts among cyber constituencies, partners, and stakeholders. The data provided will assist GFIRST planners in areas of improvement and efficiency. With the survey responses, we can better tailor our events, materials, and activities to improve efforts to protect our Nation's cybersecurity. As part of the National Strategy for a Secure Cyberspace, US–CERT is required to assist in the fight against the disruption of the operation of critical information systems. The National Strategy for a Secure Cyberspace requires US–CERT to assist in the continuous assessment of threats and vulnerabilities to Federal cyber systems. As part of our mission, US–CERT is required to assist and urge state and local governments to consider establishing information technology security programs and participate in information sharing and analysis centers with similar governments. The GFIRST conference provides an annual forum to network with public and private stakeholders, while also acting as a conduit for state and local government information sharing critical to securing our Nation's cyberspace.
