Jen Easterly, Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, recently received the prestigious Admiral Grace Hopper Award at a ceremony hosted by the College of Information and Cyberspace at National Defense University.
The event, including a “fireside chat,” took place on March 29. Although live attendance was limited to members of the National Defense University community, the event was also live-streamed on Defense.gov, and a recording was made available on the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s YouTube channel.
The award is presented annually by the College Chancellor, Dr. Cassandra C. Lewis, to recognize distinguished individuals who are both thought leaders advancing the fields of information and cyberspace in the national security community, as well as those who have a track record of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in support of a strong workforce.
