Black Hat USA 2024

The rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape and its profound impact on national security and critical infrastructure resilience.

CISA's Strategic Initiatives: Discuss challenges, opportunities, and strategic imperatives for leveraging AI to build a resilient cyber defense ecosystem.

The Black Hat CISO Summit is an approval-only event during Black Hat USA which brings together top security executives from global corporations and government agencies for a full day of unique discussions. Offered the day before the main Black Hat USA Briefings sessions, the CISO Summit is intended to give CISOs and other InfoSec executives leading-edge insight into the latest security trends, technologies, and enterprise best practices.

2024 is the year for global democracy. The year when a record-breaking number of countries held national elections; when more than two billion voters cast ballots to shape the future of their nation and the world. In the foreground of this monumental moment, emerging technologies and heightened global tensions confront the resilience of even the world's longest standing democracies. This session will unpack how key international leaders are approaching election security risks to the democratic processes - such as cyber threats, foreign malign influence, and the role of generative AI - and ensure that 2024 is no anomaly, but an inflection point. Join CISA Director Jen Easterly, NCSC CEO Felicity Oswald, and ENISA COO Hans de Vries as they discuss the challenges of protecting democracy.

CISA’s cybersecurity mission to defend and secure the national cyberspace. As the Federal Civilian Executive Branch IT enterprise is evolving and increasingly relying on cloud infrastructure, the security of cloud offerings remains one of our top priorities. We are partnering with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) at GSA, a government-wide program that promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government, to improve the cybersecurity posture of federal agencies and ultimately the entire nation. 

These talks will highlight the partnership between the two agencies and promote our collective efforts to secure the federal cloud cyberspace. CISA already holds three critical FedRAMP positions on the FedRAMP Board, Technical Advisory Group, and Federal Cloud Security Advisory Council, and plays a critical role in shaping the future of cloud security. This opportunity will allow us to discuss our approach to cloud security, address the specific tasks the two agencies are working on, as well as our plans for future of cloud security.
