FBI Series for NTX Innovators

NTXIA and FBI Dallas Create Series to Educate North Texas on Tackling Modern Threats

The organizations will collaborate to provide a series of briefings and collaborative workshops for NTXIA members covering critical topics across cybersecurity, AI, risk management and more

The workshops will cover a range of critical topics, including safeguarding critical infrastructure, understanding the dual nature of AI as both an asset and a risk, cybersecurity and fraud prevention, digital literacy, corporate data and IP theft, combating misinformation and ensuring supply chain transparency. The FBI will share its perspective on major challenges, distinguishing between technological and sociological issues, and provide advice on proactive measures for both public and private sectors. The series will also highlight federal resources available to help prepare and protect communities and businesses against threats. Themes will be directly driven by both current issues, and topics elevated by membership.
