The CISA Future Forward Series: Industry Engagement Platform Launch 

Does your company have innovative capabilities in IT security controls, communication technologies, or any other emerging technology that can help the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) understand, manage, and reduce risk to America’s cyber and physical infrastructure?

CISA invites any organization with capabilities in these areas to attend a scheduled information session on December 11, 2025, at 1:00pm EST to learn how to engage with us through our new Industry Engagement Platform (IEP).

Event Objectives:

• Review resources on CISA.gov/Doing Business with CISA page (CISA’s technologies of interest)
• Review benefits of the IEP
• Request a business account
• Manage industry organization technology profiles
• Request and track meetings
• Upload and manage capability documents

CISA launched the IEP to facilitate two-way communication between government and the open-market's product and service providers. The IEP helps CISA build future capabilities by providing industry with a persistent pathway for presenting new and emerging cybersecurity and infrastructure security solutions to the agency. The IEP allows industry to directly request conversations with CISA subject matter representatives for specific technologies of interest. The IEP connects industry organizations to the right audience by allowing users to create technology profiles indicating their areas of expertise and the specific topic(s) they wish to discuss when meeting. Additionally, industry users can upload their capability overviews CISA may use in market research and to identify industry organizations and/or products to learn more about. The IEP is a key channel for CISA to receive insights that help the agency stay ahead of emerging capabilities and market trends.

PLEASE NOTE: The IEP is not used to discuss specific contracts or upcoming contract actions.
