Join FPS on August 15, 2024, for the 8th Annual Cybersecurity Summit for Government Contractors

2024 Cybersecurity Summit Agenda – NHC Storm Prediction Center

Every year, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) releases its forecast covering the predictions of tropical storms to full-blown hurricanes.  It is an educated guess based on history, current conditions, modeling, and a bit of plain luck.     

If NHC predicted the direction of cybersecurity, it would be about the best guess anyone would have about what will happen in the near future regarding cybersecurity incidents, policy, legislation, and enforcement.  

Similar to our Summit from previous years, we will set the stage in the morning by assessing the winds, climate, and conditions today for cybersecurity policy, regulations, and updates.


This event is NOT eligible for CLE/CPE credits.
