ICIT CEO Cory Simpson lays out why infrastructure investment drives affordability—strengthening energy, water, transport, and digital systems to reduce long-term costs and improve resilience.

The ICIT Strategic Partner Webcast “Why Trust and Data Integrity Are the Cornerstones of AI for the Public Sector” is now available to watch. This timely discussion explores how agencies can operationalize transparency, governance, and secure data practices to deploy AI systems that are resilient, accountable, and mission-ready.

ICIT organizes its focus area on critical infrastructure into three interdependent pillars that incorporate four of the sixteen critical infrastructure sectors: Energy & Grid, Water & Wastewater, and Transportation & Telecommunications. In 2026, we will be examining these pillars through the lens of topics like Defense Critical Infrastructure, Cyber Force, Drones, Federal Civilian Executive Branch, and Data Centers & Artificial Intelligence.

In this SC Media perspectives piece, Dr. David Mussington, demonstrates that with deeply converged infrastructure—extending across hyperscale data centers, global cloud services, and AI-powered supply chains—risk must also be considered as converged.

Hosted by the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) and co sponsored by Rocket Software and MFGS, Inc., “The Future of Government Data, AI Automation & Mission-Ready Modernization” brought together distinguished figures from the defense-focused public and private sectors.

Cyberattacks can now compromise critical infrastructure faster than humans can perceive or respond. As adversaries grow more sophisticated and the cost of disruption rises, human-led defenses alone are no longer sufficient.

At the October 2023 ICIT Briefing - "AI DC: Securing America's Future," experts from the government and private sector discussed the profound impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on America's national security, cybersecurity, and policy-making. The event highlighted the necessity of responsible AI adoption, the significance of AI in national defense, and the imperative of comprehensive cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure. The discussions, encompassing

In this essay, ICIT Fellow Jim Routh discusses how enterprises are gearing up to harness the benefits of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI models. As AI adoption spreads, the use of LLMs increases across digital consumers, employees, and third parties, expanding the enterprise's attack surfaces. The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) plays a vital role in AI governance, balancing risk management with seizing business opportunities. This paper defines the C

In this Fellow Perspective, ICIT Fellow Jim Routh explores the significance of AI and ML models in automating Identity and Access Management (IAM) processes. Jim discusses how these advanced technologies can enhance efficiency and accuracy in managing user identities, permissions, and authentication. He also emphasizes the importance of integrating automation into IAM systems to improve security, reduce human error, and streamline access control processes. Learn how AI-powere

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world, with the potential to revolutionize industries, improve our lives, and address some of the world's most pressing challenges. However, AI also raises several important concerns, including the potential for bias, discrimination, and misuse. In this Policy Brief, ICIT Director of Research Dustin Sachs discusses a newly proposed Senate AI Framework. The Framework is a proposed set of principles and guidelines for the
