Join us for a timely conversation co-hosted by the Senate Cybersecurity Caucus, SANS GIAC, and NIST NICE, featuring expert discussion on building the cybersecurity workforce our nation needs to compete and lead in the digital economy. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, this event will spotlight innovative solutions for developing a skilled, adaptable talent pipeline — a key driver of American economic growth and national competitiveness.

Event Details

A strong cybersecurity workforce is foundational to U.S. economic strength. As AI reshapes both business operations and the threat landscape, demand for adaptable, skilled professionals continues to grow, creating opportunity for job creation and economic mobility nationwide. This discussion will bring together leaders across government, industry, and professional associations to explore how strategic workforce investment strengthens American industry and public institutions alike.

Audience

This event will feature a mixture of members of Congress, Congressional staff, government officials, and industry leaders.

Key Topics

  • Building a skilled, adaptable cybersecurity talent pipeline
  • AI's impact on the cyber workforce and threat landscape
  • Strategic workforce investment as a driver of economic growth and national competitiveness

This event has been organized to conform with the House and Senate gift rules on widely attended gatherings. Attendees should consult with their respective ethics offices if they have any questions.

This event also offers a preview of NICE Cybersecurity Career Week (October 19–24), a week of content focused on the cybersecurity workforce and the roles that make it up.

As part of that lineup, SANS will host a webinar, "Breaking Into Cybersecurity: Real Stories from Recent Graduates," on Tuesday, October 20th at 1:00 PM EDT.
