The Chemical Security Summit, hosted by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in collaboration with the Chemical Sector Coordinating Council (SCC), is the signature industry event for chemical representatives across the chemical and interconnected sectors—including energy, communications, transportation, and water—to learn, share perspectives, and engage in dialogue. Securing chemicals in an evolving threat environment requires cross collaboration between facility owners and operators, industry, law enforcement, community members, and all levels of government.
Announcement
Due to the evolving COVID-19 environment, the in-person 2020 Chemical Security Summit originally planned for July 2020 has been cancelled. In lieu of that event, CISA will be hosting three virtual Chemical Security Seminars on consecutive Wednesdays on December 2, 9, and 16, 2020, from 11 am to 2:30 pm ET (8 to 11:30 am PT). Planning is ongoing. Agenda and registration details will be coming soon.
