Join Dcode on Thursday, January 29 from 2–3pm ET for a session with Nick Andersen, Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), focused on how early- and growth-stage technology companies can understand, navigate, and engage with CISA’s mission to secure US critical infrastructure.

As the federal government sharpens its focus on cybersecurity resilience, speed, and accountability, CISA sits at the center of efforts to address the most significant cyber threats facing the United States. For startups and nontraditional companies, understanding CISA’s priorities - and how the agency works with industry - is essential to building credible, productive relationships in the federal cyber ecosystem.
In this session, we will cover:
 
  • CISA’s Cybersecurity Priorities – How CISA defines its top focus areas today and where industry partnership is most needed to strengthen national cyber resilience.
  • Engaging Across Critical Infrastructure Sectors – How companies should think about aligning their solutions with the breadth of CISA’s mission, from election security to industrial control systems.
  • Working with Emerging Companies – How CISA evaluates new technologies from smaller firms that may not yet have federal past performance.
  • Policy Shifts and Industry Engagement – How Trump Administration priorities around speed, accountability, and reducing regulatory friction are shaping CISA’s approach to cybersecurity and collaboration with industry.
This Dcode Nexus event is designed for startups, growth-stage companies, and industry partners looking to better understand how to work with CISA and align their technologies with evolving federal cybersecurity priorities. Attendees will gain clearer insight into where federal cyber efforts are headed and how to position themselves to engage effectively and responsibly in support of national security.
