Former White House Security Council Keynotes Government Blockchain Event

Washington, DC, July 12, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – From September 29 to 30, 2022, government decision – makers from around the world will meet in Washington, DC to discuss the economic and security threats associated with the supply chain. Participants will learn how blockchain and other web3 innovations can reduce these risks. Former Assistant Secretary to President Trump and President Biden for Resistance Politics Brian Cavanaugh will deliver a keynote address.

Supply Chain attacks are on the rise as supply chains become more lucrative targets. A hack for a supply chain provides a doorway for all customers. For example, in 2021, SolarWinds, a major US information technology company, experienced a cyberattack that spread to customers and was not discovered for several months. U.S. agencies – including parts of the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, the Department of Energy, the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Treasury – were broken into. NGOs such as Microsoft, Cisco, Intel and Deloitte were also compromised.

For reasons such as this, the President issued Executive Order 14017 (bit.ly/3ILAytj), America’s Supply Chains. The order requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, State and Transportation to assess, report and reduce supply chain risks.

The confession goes on to say: “In implementing this order, the heads of the Agency should, where appropriate, consult external stakeholders.” For this reason, the Government Blockchain Association (GBA) convenes a meeting with leaders in the public and private sectors in Washington to discuss how blockchain and web3 can provide solutions to supply chain challenges. Government members will present their challenges while the private sector will demonstrate their solutions.

The event includes hundreds of external participants from organizations, including:
– United Nations
– The US Congress
– NASA
– Miami
– Oracle ORCL
– 5ire Chain (worth $ 2.5 billion)
– Equideum Health (formerly ConsenSys Health)
– World Business Angel Investment Forum

And many, many more. Event participants will discuss how blockchain can affect:
– Infrastructure protection
– Conflict-resistant supply chains
– Resilient communication systems
Resilient election systems
– Resilient energy and supply network
– Flexible and safe health systems
– Suspended transport systems
– Securing IT supply chains
