May 15, 2019
9:00 AM – 4:30 PM
The National Security Institute was excited to once again partner with the Wilson Center and ICS Village to host Hack the Capitol 2.0.
Industrial control systems (ICS) are used throughout industrial infrastructure and have many military applications. High-profile attacks on these systems have demonstrated ICS’ vulnerabilities and inspired debate about the practical and political means of defending the industrial base against malicious actors. Hack the Capitol 2.0 has three tracks: (1) policy panels (2) presentations; and (3) hands-on exhibition.
