Policy Forum on Infrastructure Resilience and Mission Assurance for National Security
Register Now!
Please join the GW Center for Cyber and Homeland Security and The Infrastructure Security Partnership (a council of the Society of American Military Engineers) on Thursday, March 24, 2016 for a policy forum on critical infrastructure resilience and its importance to national security and Department of Defense mission assurance.
The forum will focus on federal policy, critical infrastructure interdependencies, the role of regional coalitions and industry partnerships, and the imperative for government/private sector and civil/military collaboration in assessing threats and risks and efforts to mitigate the possible impacts.
Panel discussions will explore the ongoing maturation of the infrastructure protection and resilience policies of both the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, the extent of interagency and industry collaboration, and case examples of existing collaborative frameworks, as well as lessons learned. The agenda will include consideration of the military's dependence on the nation's electrical sector, the implications of a growing cybersecurity threat, and the Department of Energy's work with industry on behalf of its interagency partners in the interest of security and resilience.
