Convening to Act

The NCF's Progress Through Partnership with the National Security Agency (NSA) is essential for staying ahead of emerging threats and ensuring the resilience of our nation's security infrastructure. Thus, the NCF, in partnership with the NSA, sponsors a series of dialogues called Convening to Act programs to identify emerging challenges in cybersecurity and cryptology. The initial programs explored Quantum Resistant Cryptography. Learn more about all Convening to Act programs.

Critical issues for the use of AI in national security to be addressed at the conference include: Legal, Policy, Compliance, and Security.

This will be a robust two day program with an optional dinner program on the first day.
