Why You Should Attend NSI IMPACT

Sound Familiar?

You’re responsible for protecting classified information, preparing for audits, and keeping employees engaged in security awareness. If you could run your security program the way you know it should be done, you wouldn’t just check compliance boxes—you’d build something stronger.

You’d probably also train employees in a way that actually sticks, not just meets a requirement. You’d get leadership to see security as a business priority, not an obligation. You’d fine-tune your insider threat strategy so it’s proactive, not reactive. And you’d walk into audits fully prepared—without the last-minute scramble.

But In Reality...
It's Not Just You!
What If You Had Everything You Need?

"NSI IMPACT is the perfect security forum for security professionals. It does not matter if you’re industry or government, junior, mid-level or C suite. Their speakers are always first-class presenters."

Lucas Bosch, Director of Security, TTM Technologies

Return to Work with Real-World Solutions—Not Just Ideas

Attend NSI IMPACT to:

• Gain practical insights and lessons learned from FSOs, government officials, and industry leaders who have already solved the challenges you face.

"I have attended the IMPACT event several times. It is a main event for me and my continuing education in keeping up with what’s new in security! The networking is amazing. The presenters are well-chosen members of their respective fields of business and are obviously experts. Learning what is new, what is on the horizon and getting the updated resources available to make me (and you!) a better security professional is crucial in this ever-changing business. Every time I attend, I am amazed at what I walk away with – what I learned that I didn’t know I didn’t know."

But In Reality...

You know how security should work, but too often, you’re stuck reacting—chasing down last-minute compliance updates, trying to keep security from being an afterthought, and hoping leadership sees security as more than just a budget line item. You know what’s needed, but too often, there’s no clear path to get there.

That’s why FSOs come to NSI IMPACT. This is where you stop working from a place of frustration and start making real progress. Learn from those who have found ways to break through leadership barriers, build security culture, and transform compliance into a strength—not just an obligation.

What if you had everything you need?

But what if you had the strategies, tools, and support to make that vision a reality? What if security awareness wasn’t a battle, but an expectation? What if you could anticipate compliance changes instead of scrambling to adjust? What if leadership saw you as an essential partner instead of a compliance enforcer?

That’s what NSI IMPACT is about. It’s where FSOs who are ready to move beyond check-the-box compliance come to learn what actually works—from professionals who have done it, not just talked about it. You’ll walk away with the insights, tools, and connections to start running your program on your terms.

Rick Secondo, Security Operations Manager, MITRE

It's Not Just You!

Every FSO wants this, but the reality is, most are facing the same obstacles you are. It’s not that security isn’t important—it’s that compliance pressure, shifting priorities, and competing demands make it difficult to execute the way you know it should be done.

That’s why FSOs don’t do this alone. NSI IMPACT is where security professionals come together to share what works, tackle problems as a community, and leave with strategies they can actually apply. You’ll connect with people who have solved the same challenges you’re dealing with—and walk away with a plan to do the same.
