Atlanta AFCEA Homeland Security Conference

Welcome

The AFCEA Atlanta Chapter presents the next Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, AFCEA provides the central meeting place for government, academia, and industry working in all disciplines in industry, service, government, military and academic sectors.

Today's infrastructure is connected to many other infrastructure assets, systems, and networks for normal day-to-day operations. These connections may be geographically limited or dispersed over great distances. The many points of infrastructure connections and their geographic distribution can make the infrastructure environment much more complex.

This conference supports the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which works to strengthen critical infrastructure security and resilience by generating greater understanding and action across a partnership landscape. This is achieved by working with private and public infrastructure stakeholders to resolve infrastructure security and resilience knowledge gaps, inform infrastructure risk management decisions, identify resilience-building opportunities and strategies, and improve information sharing among stakeholders through a collaborative partnership approach. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) leads the effort to enhance the resilience of the nation's physical and cyber infrastructure by bringing resources to your fingertips. Only working together can we defend against today’s threats and collaborate to build secure and resilient infrastructure for the future.

Attendees are also invited to participate in a coordinated cybersecurity preparedness exercise to assess how events impacting critical infrastructure are handled. This was inspired by the JACK VOLTAIC® exercises led by the Army Cyber Institute. Scenarios are being designed to help identify and address gaps and interdependencies bringing together numerous entities responsible for critical infrastructure shared among many constituencies. This exercise is developed around areas of interest suggested by the participants, and is focused on gaining key insights into how multiple levels of industry and government respond to events impacting critical infrastructure and what impact that might have. The tabletop exercise will include a series of “turns” enabling participants to practice a response.

After careful consideration, AFCEA-Atlanta (a chapter of AFCEA International) and its event production partner Federal Business Council (FBC) are postponing the 2024 Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Conference. originally scheduled for November 6-7, 2024, in Atlanta. A rapid and unanticipated rise in rhetoric and threats stemming from disinformation about the purpose of the event and its proximity to Election Day contributed to the decision to postpone.

Out of an abundance of caution and because a number of government agencies are unable to participate, we made this difficult decision so that we can deliver a high-quality and meaningful event, with deep and rich engagement across industry, government and academia, and full participation by all stakeholders. We apologize for the inconvenience and are exploring options to reschedule the event. We will reach out directly to all participants with details, including information about transferring existing exhibits, registrations and sponsorships. Updates also will be shared on the AFCEA-Atlanta chapter's event website, on FBC's website, via email and on social media.

Existing registrations will be automatically transferred to the new date. When the date is announced, attendees will have the ability to accept or decline, per our normal processes. Thank you for your patience, cooperation and understanding.

AFCEA International and its 139 global chapters remain committed to providing a forum for the ethical exchange of information and increasing knowledge through the exploration of issues relevant to its members in the defense, homeland security and intelligence communities.
