Why You Should Attend This Summit: As recent attacks on US interests have shown, many of the industries required to maintain our way of life are vulnerable to cyber-attacks from outside actors as well as a number of other man-made and natural threats. As the nation and the globe become more interconnected through advanced technologies, losing these capabilities for even a couple of days can grind daily life to a halt or hinder many of the normal activities across our country. The recent passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act gained bipartisan support and made available $1.2 trillion for projects to build new infrastructure as well as modernize that which already exists. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act represents the largest infrastructure bill in US history and affects infrastructure ranging from transit to water and broadband internet. Attendees will hear from senior leaders from across Government and Industry detailing the threats currently facing critical infrastructure sectors as well as the solutions needed to overcome them. Additionally, a panel of supply chain experts will for an open dialogue on the supply chain crisis and will highlight the need for public-private partnership to solve it.
