A global summit focusing on cyberterrorism and the targets of critical infrastructures has been announced for next month. The event, Sector 5, will be co-produced by Gardner and Flight Event Work, and held in Washington, D.C., between August 21 and 23.

The organizers say that executives from major organizations and government agencies over several infrastructure sectors, including banking/financial services; utilities/energy/water; transportation, telecommunications and information services; health and safety plus emergency services, are expected to attend.

According to the event producer Paul Sitar, the focus will be on offering information and products as solutions to defending vital interests and national security.
