You’re invited to lunch with the former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security (2021-2023), John Tien. What does security look like in the 21st century and what are the primary concerns in the U.S. today? Who is involved in shaping policy and how is policy implemented in different areas? How is “risk” assessed and who is a part of determining those parameters? Bring your questions and come learn about the broad swath of security issues overseen by DHS across multiple agencies including: cybersecurity and the protection of America’s critical physical and cyber infrastructure (CISA); disaster preparedness and recovery (FEMA); supply chain optimization, border security, and free and fair trade (CBP and ICE); air, pipeline, and rail security (TSA); maritime physical and cyber security (USCG);  citizenship and immigration services (USCIS); the safeguarding the U.S. financial system (USSS); and counter-narcotics production and trafficking (HSI).  Expect candid answers and a robust discussion lead by someone who has served in various capacities across 4 administrations. Please REGISTER in advance

Professor Tien is currently a Senior Fellow of Science and Technology at the Harvard Kennedy School ‘s Belfer Center and a Distinguished Professor of the Practice at Georgia Tech’s School of Cybersecurity and Privacy. Please Register HERE. Lunch will be provided.
