Axonius Federal Systems Announces CISA Acting Director Nick Andersen as Government Keynote at Axonius Adapt in Action D.C. 2026
Andersen will speak on federal cyber defense and asset intelligence at June 9 event
RESTON, Va. — June 2, 2026 — Axonius Federal Systems (AFS), the U.S. federal subsidiary of Axonius, today announced that Nick Andersen (acting director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency - CISA) will deliver the government keynote at Axonius Adapt in Action D.C. 2026 at Union Station.
The session, “Mission-First Cyber Defense in an Era of Persistent Risk” (Tuesday, June 9 at 9:45 a.m. ET), will address how U.S. federal agencies can reduce cyber risk against adversaries while operating with fewer resources. The session will also explain why asset intelligence is the precondition, not a byproduct, of effective cyber defense.
Andersen joins guest speakers from ComplAi Inc., IonQ, Leidos, MANTECH, NetCentrics, SDA Solutions, Texas A&M University, and U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).
“U.S. federal agencies are being asked to do more with the same or fewer resources,” said Jared Vichengrad, senior vice president and general manager at Axonius Federal Systems. “However, none of that is manageable until you know exactly what assets you have and where they’re exposed. Asset intelligence is a critical conversation that agencies need to have to strengthen their cyber defense systems.”
Axonius Adapt in Action D.C. 2026 is a one-day event for security, IT, and risk leaders in the federal, SLED, and enterprise sectors. Sessions cover topics including AI, Zero Trust, and more. Attendance is free. CPE credits are available for ISC2 members. Register here.
