CrowdStrike has officially announced that Fal.Con Gov 2026 will take place on March 18 in Washington, D.C., bringing together government cybersecurity leaders, policymakers, and defense experts to strengthen the protection of critical national infrastructure. Now in its third year, the event continues to serve as a key platform for advancing cybersecurity strategy, operational readiness, and AI-driven defense capabilities across the public sector.
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and persistent, government agencies increasingly rely on real-time intelligence and artificial intelligence to defend mission-critical systems. Therefore, Fal.Con Gov aims to equip federal defenders with the tools, knowledge, and collaboration needed to counter emerging threats effectively. The event will feature participation from senior leaders across national security and cybersecurity agencies, including White House National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross, CISA Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity Nick Anderson, Department of War CIO Kirsten Davies, and other senior officials.
