A Vision for Improving Security
The stakes of critical infrastructure protection and securing ICSs are constantly increasing. The 2026 Critical Infrastructure Security Forum (CISF) will aim to improve the education and knowledge of local agencies to maintain security of critical infrastructure operational systems. The one-day forum will create an opportunity for idea sharing, collaborative strategy development, and the continued creation of a Community of Interest that will benefit the people of California.
Practitioners and leading experts will come together to share ideas, methods, and techniques for defending control system environments. In-depth presentations and interactive panel discussions deliver real-world approaches that work and have influence for the individuals fighting this fight every day.
Developing the content for this forum is driven by an Executive Council & Advisory Board that will begin meeting November of 2025 to identify issues that are most pressing as well as the areas of excellence that can be shared and leveraged. This forum will help our local government strengthen their defenses and continue to safeguard the security of our nation's infrastructure.
