FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, Admiral Michael Rogers, head of the U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, and former National Counterterrorism Center Director Matthew Olsen were among those tackling questions on terrorism, cyberthreats, and the challenge of public-private partnerships at a one-day conference at CSIS in Washington, D.C. in honor of the 10-year anniversary of the National Security Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, created after the 9/11 attacks.
