About this conference
Join 150 colleagues from across the intelligence and national security community for an evening of candid conversation and connection at INSA's SCIF After Hours with Nick Andersen, Acting Director, CISA. 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: CISA's directive to 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. 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.
