SYNOPSIS:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will host regular Virtual Industry Day events in fiscal year (FY) 2023. These events will allow CISA and Industry to have meaningful discussions about cybersecurity capabilities, challenges, and technologies. The first scheduled Virtual Industry Day for FY23 is for the Cybersecurity Division (CSD) on 15 November 2022 from 1:00PM to 3:00PM EST. Individual Breakout sessions will take place on 16 Nov 2022 at 11:00AM EST, 1:00PM EST and 2:30PM EST; 17 Nov 2022 at 11:00AM EST, 1:00PM and 2:30PM EST.
CISA works with partners to defend against today's threats and collaborates to build more secure and resilient infrastructure for the future. The threats we face digital and physical, man-made, technological, and natural are more complex, and the threat actors more diverse than at any point in our history. CISA is at the heart of mobilizing a collective defense as we lead the Nation's efforts to understand and manage risk to our critical infrastructure. Our partners in this mission span the public and private sectors. Programs and services we provide are driven by our comprehensive understanding of the risk environment and the corresponding needs identified by our stakeholders. We seek to help organizations better manage risk and increase resilience using all available resources, whether provided by the Federal Government, commercial vendors, or their own capabilities.
