CISA Publishes 2020 Chemical Security Webinars Agenda

Sometime this week (they still have not resumed dating web page changes) the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) updated their Chemical Security Summit web page to provide updated information for the 2020 Chemical Security Summit. As I had noted earlier, CISA will be holding this mostly-annual summit this year as a three-day virtual event held on consecutive Wednesday’s in December. This week’s update provides an agenda for the three-day event.

I misunderstood the previous update to mean that CISA would be holding one seminar on three-separate dates. The agenda published this week makes it clear the CISA will be holding three separate seminars, one on each day of the scheduled event. This closely parallels the organization of the Chemical Sector Security Summits that have been held over the last 10+ years.

While there are (currently?) no speaker names included in the published Agenda, there are some topics that look to be very interesting (all would appear to be worthwhile). These call-out topics include:

• Jack Rabbit III Demonstration – 12-2-20,

• Security Incidents Trends & Challenges During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Supply Chain Constraints – 12-2-20,

• Chemical Security Threat Briefing – 12-2-20,

• Hurricanes, Wildfires, Floods, and Pandemics – 12-9-20,

• TSA Surface & USCG MTSA Program Updates and Information – 12-9-20,

• Cybersecurity & Physical Security Working Together, 12-16-20, and

• Chemical Security Tools (Virtual Expo), 12-16-20

Registration information is still not available.
