National Security Institute | In-Person Event

Description: Join the National Security Institute on Tuesday, September 19, from 4 – 6pm ET in-person for the launch of NSI’s new Cyber and Tech Center (CTC). The NSI CTC will take on and expand NSI’s current efforts to promote American leadership in technology innovation and engage with policymakers on critical issues at the intersection of technology and national security.

The CTC’s launch event will feature a fireside chat with Jen Easterly, Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), who will discuss today’s threat landscape – including aggressive cyber operations from China and the risks posed by generative AI – as well as cyber lessons learned from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its ongoing conduct during the invasion. After the discussion, please join us for a reception in the Hazel Hall atrium to celebrate the official launch of the NSI Cyber and Tech Center.

As part of the CTC’s informal launch in early 2023, NSI held a series of events focused on the early cyber lessons learned from the war in Ukraine, including how the American public and private sectors supported Ukraine in cyberspace and with the deployment of American cyber capabilities, how the public and private sectors worked together to defend the United States at home through efforts like Shields Up, and what these efforts both at home and abroad might teach us about potential future conflicts and operationalizing cyber defenses at the regional, state, and local level.
