This Friday, cybersecurity and parliamentary technology experts from the U.S. House of Representatives, the Organization of American States, the Assembly of the Republic of Portugal, and the Chamber of Deputies of Chile will address a question every parliament should be prepared to answer:
Could your Parliament continue performing its constitutional functions during a major cyber incident?
As parliaments become increasingly dependent on digital systems—and begin expanding the use of Artificial Intelligence, the consequences of a serious cyber disruption extend far beyond IT. Legislative operations, institutional communications, access to information, and the continuity of parliamentary work itself may be at stake.
Bússola Tech invites you to join the panel discussion:
Cybersecurity in the AI Era: Protecting Parliamentary Operations and Institutional Continuity
The discussion will examine practical questions facing parliamentary administrations today:
What cybersecurity foundations should be in place before scaling AI?
How can essential parliamentary functions continue during a major cyber incident?
What fallback arrangements should legislatures establish in advance?
How can stronger cybersecurity coexist with political autonomy, institutional transparency, and established parliamentary practices?
Speakers:
Addie Adeniji, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, U.S. House of Representatives
Kerry-Ann Barrett, Chief of the Cybersecurity Section, Organization of American States
Sara Fernandes, Director of Information Security, Assembly of the Republic of Portugal
Esteban Sánchez, Chief of Development Projects, Chamber of Deputies of Chile
