We narrowed down two that we think you should attend in the upcoming weeks.

**[FCW Cybersecurity Summit](https://fcw.com/cybersecurity)**  
**When:** August 9, 2017  
**Where:** W Hotel | Washington D.C.  
**Cost:** $199  
 The focus of the FCW Cybersecurity Summit is for Federal IT leaders across government to come together and discuss the key issues agencies need to address in the coming years, and the technologies and strategies that will be critical to those efforts. Some of the questions posed at the conference include: How can agencies leverage cyber intelligence to take a more proactive approach to identifying and mitigating threats? What steps can they take to reduce the risk of employees inadvertently exposing data—as well as the risk of the malicious insider threat? What is the future of two-factor authentication?
