Announcing Three Regional
Cyber Civil Defense Summits in 2026
With host states Arizona, New Jersey, and Louisiana
Building regional networks of cyber defenders, academics,
and policymakers to protect our most at-risk public infrastructure.
THE SUMMIT
Defending public life against cyber threats is a national challenge with profoundly local impacts. With low-level cyber attacks like ransomware consistently on the rise, the task of strengthening the defenses of community organizations in every corner of the nation seems impossible to take on.
But no one is alone in this challenge of scaling local and regional cyber defense. Across the country, grassroots initiatives and community-driven efforts are rising up to protect the institutions that uphold public life.
The UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity is pleased to host three regional Cyber Civil Defense Summits designed to foster regional collaboration and strengthen community cyber defense.
The Summit endeavors to join forces across defenders, academics, and public servants working to fortify regional cyber defense. Learn more.
