Defense Strategies Institute is proud to announce the Critical Infrastructure Security Summit, occurring this September 22-23 in National Harbor, MD. This year’s Summit will convene senior leaders in a discussion on how we prevent and mitigate attacks against our critical infrastructure to ensure that the US people can continue their way of life, highlighting this year’s theme “Safeguarding US Infrastructure Against Cyber and Physical Attacks, threats, and Intrusions.”
As recent attacks on US interests have shown, the critical infrastructure that keeps our nation’s economy and military running are more interconnected and vulnerable than ever to cyber-attacks from outside actors as well as a number of other man-made and natural threats. This summit will bring together experts from the Government, Private Sector, and Academia to discuss how we can better detect, deter, protect against, and respond to these actors and actions, and how the private sector can help foster a more secure cyberspace.

– Dr. David Mussington, Executive Assistant Director for Infrastructure Security, CISA
– Rich Chavez, Director of the Office of Intelligence, Security and Emergency Response, U.S. Department of Transportation
– COL Jeffrey Erickson, USA, Director, Army Cyber Institute
– Jim McCarthy, Senior Security Engineer, National Cyber Center of Excellence, NIST
Topics to be covered at the Summit Include:
– Defending the Nation’s Critical Facilities from Cyber Threats and Actions
