National Security Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Conference 2026
About the Security Event
The National Security Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Conference 2026 brings together government, military, academic, and industry professionals who work on securing the systems that support national operations. It focuses on the growing complexity of infrastructure networks and the risks that come with their interconnected nature. Participants explore the challenges created by physical and digital dependencies across energy, transportation, communications, and public services, along with the strategic decisions needed to strengthen resilience. The program highlights how federal, state, and local partners can coordinate more effectively in the face of evolving threats.
A key feature of the event is the cybersecurity preparedness exercise modeled after the JACK VOLTAIC activities of the Army Cyber Institute. This hands on scenario allows attendees to examine gaps, test response procedures, and understand how different sectors react when critical infrastructure is disrupted. It provides a realistic environment to build awareness, improve planning, and reinforce collaboration among all stakeholders involved in national security.
