The Cyber Security Forum Initiative (CSFI) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Omaha, NE and in Washington DC with a mission "to provide Cyber Warfare awareness, guidance, and security solutions through collaboration, education, volunteer work, and training to assist the US Government, US Military, Commercial Interests, and International Partners."​ CSFI was born out of the collaboration of dozens of experts, and today CSFI is comprised of a large community of nearly 81000 Cyber Security and Cyber Warfare professionals from the government, military, private sector, and academia. Our amazing members are the core of all of our activities, and it is for them that we are pushing forward our mission. CSFI is founded on 3 main pillars supporting our mission: Collaboration, Knowledge-Sharing, and Training/Education. Our collaboration efforts have helped to break down stovepipes and "closed networks"​ that exists inside government and industry to enable greater information sharing and increased capabilities. Complimentary to our collaboration efforts, CSFI is engaged in creating Cyber Warfare training materials to promote a stronger background for our men and women in uniform and also throughout the DOD community. CSFI is in a unique position to attract some of the foremost Cyber Warfare Strategists, Hackers, and Intelligence Professionals to develop high caliber training on a topic that has yet to be fully defined let alone explored and explained.
