Julie Klein recently joined Palo Alto Networks as a Senior Director on the Public Policy & Government Affairs team. Previously, she was the Principal Senior Advisor at the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD). Earlier in her career, she worked as Director of Global Public Policy at Akamai Technologies. Julie also brings nearly 15 years of experience serving the U.S. Senate, including as a senior staffer on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and as National Security Advisor and Deputy National Security Advisor to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid.
As the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) continues to shape the nation’s cybersecurity strategy, understanding its relationship with the National Security Council (NSC) is crucial for enhancing its impact. This panel will delve into the themes outlined in the soon to be released whitepaper from the Center for Cybersecurity Policy and Law, which examines how ONCD and the NSC can effectively collaborate to address the evolving cyber threat landscape. Panelists will also explore the potential benefits of restructuring ONCD to mirror the United States Trade Representative (USTR) model, discussing how such an approach could strengthen ONCD’s role in driving cybersecurity policy and coordination.
