Session Abstract: The White House released its National Cybersecurity Strategy in March of 2023 and its accompanying implementation plan in July. Through the Strategy the President made multiple invitations to the private sector to participate in activities usually in the exclusive control of federal government officials, to include national security information sharing, cybersecurity regulation development, and criminal and espionage investigations. However, the private sector received no phone number, email address, or other contact information allowing them to accept the President’s invitations. In this session, presenters who have worked at the highest levels of the private sector and government will highlight ways for businesses to connect with federal officials and ensure their participation.
