Cybersecurity is no longer only an IT concern for parliaments. As legislatures expand their use of Artificial Intelligence and become increasingly dependent on digital infrastructure, cyber resilience has become essential to protecting parliamentary operations, institutional independence, and democratic continuity.

Bússola Tech invites you to join the upcoming panel discussion, “Cybersecurity in the AI Era: Protecting Parliamentary Operations and Institutional Continuity,” bringing together cybersecurity and parliamentary technology experts from the United States, Chile, Portugal, and the Organization of American States.

Moderated by Mr. Luís Kimaid, Executive Director of Bússola Tech, the discussion will address a critical question: Are parliaments prepared to maintain their constitutional functions when facing a major cyber incident?

The panel will explore the cybersecurity foundations that legislatures should establish before expanding the use of Artificial Intelligence, strategies for maintaining institutional continuity during cyber incidents, and the governance measures needed to strengthen resilience across parliamentary administrations.

The discussion will also examine how parliaments can strengthen cybersecurity without compromising political autonomy, institutional transparency, or long-established parliamentary practices.

The panel will feature:

• Ms. Addie Adeniji, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer at the U.S. House of Representatives
• Ms. Kerry-Ann Barrett, Chief of the Cybersecurity Section at the Organization of American States
• Ms. Sara Fernandes, Director of Information Security at the Assembly of the Republic of Portugal
• Mr. Esteban Sánchez, Chief of Development Projects at the Chamber of Deputies of Chile
• Mr. Daniel Niero, Executive Director at El Canary Privacy & Ethics

Join us for an international discussion on how parliaments can anticipate cyber threats, protect their operations, and build the institutional resilience required for the AI era.
