Johnson will address attendees at a luncheon on Monday, September 12 at 12:15 pm and Comey will speak to members of the CSO Center for Leadership & Development, as well as invited guests, on Tuesday, Sept 13 at 11:00 am. Both events take place at the Orange County Convention Center and are open to the media.

In his remarks, Comey will focus on cyber security and the FBI’s strategy for combating cybercrime. Both sets of remarks will underscore the importance of strong private sector collaboration.

In addition to Johnson’s attendance, the DHS Office of Infrastructure Protection is supporting the inaugural ASIS Security Week in Orlando, which will kick off with a free Preparedness and Prevention Community Seminar, September 11 at the Hyatt Regency. Security Week, developed in response to the violent attacks on citizens where they work, live and play, will provide free programming to educate small business owners and those responsible for securing community institutions on the fundamentals ​of security and preparedness planning.
