The Michigan Cyber Summit returns as a premier gathering of 600+ cybersecurity leaders and innovators from across the public and private sectors. Hosted in partnership with the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), this summit explores the strategies, technologies, and partnerships that are keeping Michigan at the forefront of cyber defense. From leveraging federal resources to navigating emerging threats, attendees gain practical insights to strengthen preparedness, accelerate response, and protect what matters most.
In 2026, cyberattacks reached water utilities in more than 12 states, exposed more than 2,800 internet-facing controllers and took a United Kingdom power generator offline for four days, making 2026 the most active year on record for attacks against U.S. water, energy and government operational technology (OT). None of these attacks relied on novel tradecraft. Instead, attackers exploited OT that was internet-facing, weakly authenticated and invisible to the teams responsible for it. Join Tenable and Carahsoft for a live session on how this year's critical infrastructure campaign escalated, why attackers keep finding the same exposure before defenders do and what closing that visibility gap looks like in practice, without replacing the systems your community depends on. |
Experts will also cover how this connects to:
|
Reducing Security & Procurement Friction
Discover how agencies and providers are reverse‑engineering today’s security and procurement burdens. Learn practical strategies to minimize duplication, simplify acquisition, and reduce compliance friction while maintaining strong security outcomes.
Framework Harmonization & Cloud Assurance
Explore how GovRAMP, FedRAMP, CJIS, and other frameworks are converging to support reciprocity and scalable assurance. Learn how harmonized approaches can lower cost, reduce audit fatigue, and modernize government cloud security without sacrificing trust.
Emerging Risks & Shared Responsibility
Examine the evolving risk landscape facing public-sector cloud environments—from AI and automation to top threat vectors and crisis response. Understand how shared responsibility models and modern tooling help agencies and providers adapt to constant change.
The need for this summit has never been more urgent. Four major Chinese state-sponsored APT groups—Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, Flax Typhoon, and Brass Typhoon—are already targeting and embedding themselves inside U.S. critical infrastructure networks. With over 80% of critical infrastructure privately owned, cyber threats in these sectors pose national risks, and defending them requires unified, real-time collaboration between sectors, private companies and federal, state, and local governments.
Billington will once again bring together the most senior leaders across government, industry, and investment to discuss ways to strengthen defenses, build resilience, and deter adversaries who fully understand how a single weakness can cascade across the entire economy.
When and where will the Billington Critical Infrastructure CyberSecurity Summit take place?
November 17–18, 2026
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
900 E. Market Street
San Antonio, Texas 78205
San Antonio—home to Sixteenth Air Force (Air Forces Cyber), NSA Texas, the landmark Texas Cyber Command, and a growing ecosystem of critical infrastructure innovators—provides the ideal backdrop for this high-stakes gathering.
What is the theme/purpose of the event?
Securing Lifeline Sectors
Energy • Communications • Transport • Water
The interdependencies of these four sectors shape the stability of every government agency, industry, and community. A disruption in any one sector, likewise, can produce cascading effects across the entire critical infrastructure ecosystem.
This summit is designed for those who refuse to wait for that moment to arrive.
