July 26-27, 2023 | Mary M. Gates Learning Center | Alexandria, VA

The 3rd Annual Critical Infrastructure Security Summit will focus on defending and creating resilient systems to protect our nation’s vital infrastructure from outside threats and other dangers. The interconnectivity and advanced capabilities that digital systems have provided to our nation’s infrastructure systems also poses an avenue of approach for America’s enemies to cripple US production and economic power without having to fire a shot.

Why You Should Attend This Summit:

The US National Cybersecurity Strategy prioritizes defending critical infrastructure through the expansion of cybersecurity requirements in critical sectors. A key component of this is continued and strong public-private collaboration at the speed and scale necessary to secure critical infrastructure and the essential services that the US depends on. At the 2023 Critical Infrastructure Security Summit, attendees will hear from leaders and experts across government and industry to discuss the current threat environment and the technologies and policies necessary to disrupt and dismantle those threats. DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in human and technical analysis from intelligence leaders to key policymakers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers. __________________________________________________________________________________

Operating Guidance for Government Attendees:

DSI’s Summit directly supports the Federal Government’s priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department's mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time.

DSI’s Summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission.

The Summit is open and complimentary to all DoD and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum.
