Join us at The International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. for the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity’s second annual Cyber Civil Defense Summit. This one-of-a-kind gathering of cyber defenders, academics, and policymakers returns in 2024 with the mission of protecting the most vulnerable public infrastructure against cybersecurity threats.

The theme of this year’s Summit is Data-Driven Resilience. Our exclusive panels will spotlight empirical research on topics in public interest cybersecurity and explore evidence-informed strategies to bolster the cyber resilience of civic organizations too often left behind in cybersecurity.

Registration for the Summit is now closed.

About the Summit

The Cyber Civil Defense Summit brings together a community of cyber defenders, academics, and policymakers with the shared mission of protecting the most vulnerable public infrastructure against cybersecurity threats.

This in-person event hosts exclusive keynotes and panels with government and industry leaders in cybersecurity, creating an intimate space for cross-sector conversations between academics, volunteers, and policymakers on how we can work together to protect vulnerable community organizations like hospitals, cities, school districts, and nonprofits. 

The Cyber Civil Defense Summit was first hosted in 2023, with keynote addresses by CISA Director Jen Easterly and Wendy Nather of Cisco. A full recap of the inaugural Summit can be found here. The conference is a unique opportunity to connect with cyber defenders across industries, and get ideas in front of beltway changemakers.
