Building Integration Between the Public and Private Sectors — Moving From Partners to Teammates

Now is the time to move partnership from being about networking, to the realization that the public and private sector must work together to protect U.S. national and economic security. The workforce in the government needs to be integrated with teammates in the private sector — and what is preventing this are outdated policies and technology. To be successful, we need to work with each other to identify what the barriers are, and how we need to address them, so that we can be fully integrated in addressing current and future challenges.

Former Assistant Director, FBI Office of Private Sector

Security in Times of Permacrisis

In this dynamic panel, security leaders will discuss how their security teams/organizations have responded to the risks associated with simultaneous and prolonged geopolitical tensions and global crises, such as those caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, COVID-19, climate events, and more. Ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the panel will explore how security teams can prepare for potential increases in political polarization and mitigate its effects on their organizations. Furthermore, the panel will address how security teams have been addressing the concept of permacrisis and supporting their staff through today’s challenges.

What is our responsibility as security leaders to provide training and upskilling to the next generation of security talent? What are some of the challenges of and strategies for molding future leaders in a manner beneficial to both the security professional and the organization?
