Launch: Commission on U.S. Cyber Force Generation

Join CSIS online on September 16 for a discussion on the future of a dedicated U.S. Cyber Force. 

The event will begin with opening remarks from Deputy Director and Senior Fellow of the Strategic Technologies Program, Lauryn Williams and a discussion between RADM Mark Montgomery, USN (Ret.) and Erica Lonergan followed by two expert panels. 

The first will be a conversation with commissioners from the newly launched CSIS Commission on Cyber Force Generation, moderated by Washington Post national security reporter, Ellen Nakashima. This panel will be followed by a discussion with Representative Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06) and Representative Morgan Luttrell (TX-08) on the legislative pathways for building a Cyber Force. Together, the panels will explore the structures, roles, and authorities needed to ensure U.S. readiness in cyberspace. 

The CSIS Commission on U.S. Cyber Force Generation will convene leading experts to examine how the United States can strengthen its cyber defense posture and ensure long-term readiness in the most contested domain of modern conflict. 

This event was made possible by general funding to CSIS.
