The evening kicks off with a networking reception, followed by a fireside chat between Mr. Andersen and INSA Executive Vice President John Doyon. Topics for discussion include:
- Ruthless Prioritization: BOD 26-04's shift from severity-based patching to defending against high-consequence threats, and what it demands of federal contractors.
- The Quantum Security Shift: Preparing for new cryptographic mandates, including the Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) and protecting long-lived sensitive data.
- Supply Chain Resilience: A candid assessment of systemic vulnerabilities and the move toward "security-by-design" to reduce dependency risks.
- AI-Enabled Defense: Leveraging agentic AI for defensive speed while hardening internal systems against AI-accelerated exploitation.
Bring your questions! There will be ample time for the audience to engage directly with CISA leadership during the Q&A. The program will wrap-up with a dessert reception.
