About the Convening to Act Series
Our 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, as well as to increase engagement with the public on topics of significant national security to include the importance of Responsible Artificial Intelligence.
Join us for a multidisciplinary dialogue, including government and industry, as we discuss Quantum Resistant Cryptography for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and beyond, including small and medium-sized businesses.
