About this Event
Celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month with the Institute! Distinguished Chair Jim Langevin is hosting a fireside chat with the Honorable John C. "Chris" Inglis, who served as the United States' first Senate-confirmed National Cyber Director—a position that Congressman Langevin helped created during his time in Congress—from 2021 until 2023.
Mr. Inglis also served as the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) Deputy Director and Chief Operating Officer from 2006 until 2014. His career in public service includes 28 years of fulltime service at the NSA, and post-NSA stints on various federal and private sector advisory panels.
Mr. Inglis and Congressman Langevin served together on the U.S. Cyberspace Solarium Commission (2019-2020), which recommended a range of strategic initiatives that underpin current U.S. cyber strategy, including the creation of a Senate-confirmed U.S. National Cyber Director.
Mr. Inglis holds graduate degrees from Columbia, Johns Hopkins and George Washington Universities, and an honorary doctorate from the U.S. National Intelligence University. In more than 30 years of active and reserve military service, Mr. Inglis was rated as a U.S. Air Force command pilot and retired with the rank of Brigadier General.
