Nick Andersen will join the WHSR to talk about Ruthless Prioritization: CISA’s Strategic Approach to Securing Critical Infrastructure in an Era of Adversarial Threats. 

As adversaries intensify their focus on the systems underpinning our nation’s security, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is leading a transformative shift in how we defend America’s most vital assets. Through ruthless prioritization, CISA is directing resources and attention to the systems and functions most essential to our public health and safety, economic continuity, and national security, including the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). At this event, attendees will hear from CISA’s Acting Director, Nick Andersen on how the agency is shaping federal and private-sector risk management, fostering resilience through targeted investments, and unifying cybersecurity, physical security, and emergency communications missions. The session will also explore how cyber threat intelligence informs prioritization, ensuring that resources are directed where they are needed most to protect the nation’s critical functions.
