Leidos SVP Rob Zitz on Public-Private Cyber Threat Intell Sharing

Executive Mosaic, Tysons Corner, VA January 14, 2015 – ExecutiveBiz covered Tuesday remarks from Rob Zitz, senior vice president and chief systems architect at Leidos, pushing for greater public-private collaboration on cyber threat intelligence sharing.
“The most serious threat is to our critical infrastructure, and 85 percent [or more] of that is owned by the private sector. It must be a joint venture,” Zitz told the Washington Business Journal in an exclusive interview published Monday.
The executive, speaking ahead of Barack Obama’s anticipated speech Tuesday regarding the administration’s cyber defense strategies, told the paper that the president should call for a voluntary reporting system and incentives to encourage threat intelligence sharing.
“I think that the recent and very public attacks that have occurred have increased the awareness of those in the executive and congressional branches,” Zitz was quoted as saying.
