Billington CyberSecurity Summit: dinner, drinks, and off the record discussions
Join Manifest Cyber in DC during Billington CyberSecurity Summit week. As organizations rush to adopt AI, the software supply chain is inheriting a new class of risk, one that traditional SBOM practices were not built to catch. After speaking on systemic supply chain risk at Billington, our CEO, Daniel Bardenstein, will be hosting an intimate executive dinner, bringing together government leaders, CISOs, and Product Security executives for a candid, off the record conversation. Space is limited. Reach out if you would like to join us.
CISOs, VPs, and Cybersecurity Executives from the Government, Finance, Healthcare, Transportation, and Technology worlds.
Cocktail reception followed by a seated dinner.

Daniel Bardenstein is the CEO and co-founder of Manifest. Prior to co-founding the company, Daniel served as the Chief of Tech Strategy at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), where he drove technology modernization and operational technology and industrial control systems (OT/ICS) strategy across the agency, and led the development of the Cybersecurity Performance Goals. At the Defense Digital Service, he led cybersecurity programs across the Department of Defense, including securing the COVID-19 vaccines and the Hack the Pentagon program. Before joining the U.S. government, Daniel directed product teams at Exabeam and Palantir developing cybersecurity and data analysis platforms.
Our story began in December 2021, when the Log4Shell vulnerability wreaked havoc in enterprises all over the world. It struck us as fundamentally unacceptable that the world's most important institutions, including banks, hospitals, militaries, and manufacturers, had no way to figure out which open source components were in the software they had built and bought. Addressing Log4Shell cost enterprises billions of dollars, took months of work, and burned out thousands of cybersecurity professionals. Our mission is to illuminate software supply chains. Founded by Department of Defense (DOD), CISA, and Palantir alumni, we built Manifest to operationalize the rich and valuable intelligence that Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and AI Bills of Materials (AIBOMs) provide. We are here to secure software supply chain risk with a single click, not with weeks or months of manual effort. We bring our industry-leading BOM management capabilities to nearly every critical infrastructure category, Fortune 500 enterprises, federal civilian agencies, and defense.
