Florida Security Forum
Florida Is On the Front Lines. And Under Threat.
That’s why we’ve created the Florida Security Forum, a high-impact gathering designed to drive solutions, not just talk about them. Each
year, we'll convene scholars, policy experts, and industry leaders for a focused dialogue
on the national security challenges uniquely impacting the state of Florida.
where urgency meets expertise
Florida is a hub for defense, international commerce, and technological innovation, and plays an outsized role in shaping national security policy and decisions.

Areas of focus for the Florida Security Forum:
• Cybersecurity and AI defense tech;
• Port and maritime vulnerability;
• Foreign threats operating in Florida;
• Space innovation and launch security;
• Florida’s military installations and defense economy;
• Building the next-gen national security workforce.
FSF fosters collaboration across academic, government, and private-sector domains to shape actionable solutions that elevate Florida’s national security posture. At a time when the state’s role in U.S. security strategy is rapidly expanding, the Florida Security Forum is a vital convening platform for thought leadership and informed policymaking.
