About the Event
The Federal Cyber Certification Series brings together professionals navigating U.S. federal cybersecurity certification and compliance requirements. The in-person conference takes place at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View in Virginia and features a multi-track agenda structured around workshops, expert panels, exhibitor showcases, and networking receptions.
The program is organized into four core modules, each addressing distinct certification challenges: IoT and embedded device security regulations, software bill of materials (SBOM) requirements, FedRAMP cloud authorization, and post-quantum cryptography migration. This structure allows attendees to focus on the compliance areas most relevant to their products and markets.
Federal Certification and Compliance Landscape
Organizations selling technology products to U.S. federal agencies face an expanding set of cybersecurity assurance requirements. These include secure-by-design initiatives, vulnerability disclosure obligations, software supply chain transparency mandates, and evolving procurement rules. The conference examines how these frameworks intersect and, in some cases, conflict with global regulatory requirements.
Sessions address FedRAMP modernization efforts, IoT labeling programs, SBOM implementation for software assurance, and timelines for post-quantum cryptography adoption. The focus is on translating policy requirements into operational compliance strategies.
Who Should Attend
The event targets CTOs, CISOs, product security engineers, compliance managers, and program managers responsible for federal market access. It is also relevant for testing laboratories, standards organizations, systems integrators, legal advisors, and government procurement officials involved in ICT product certification. Attendees typically work for cloud providers, software vendors, IoT manufacturers, or federal contractors seeking to maintain eligibility for government and critical infrastructure contracts.
