2020 Security Congress
Annual conference brings together experts from around the world to tackle the most pressing issues in cybersecurity
(ISC)² – the world’s largest nonprofit membership association of certified cybersecurity professionals – today announced a global call for speakers for its tenth annual Security Congress conference this year in Orlando, Fla., which will take place November 16-18. Submissions will be accepted until March 22, 2020. Following record attendance in 2019, this year’s conference is also expected to become the largest-ever Security Congress, with more attendees than ever before, geared toward a global audience and the cybersecurity challenges they face across many regions.
Security Congress 2020 will offer more than 150 educational and thought leadership sessions across roughly 15 tracks from a roster of an estimated 200 speakers. These sessions will aid security leaders by arming them with the latest knowledge, tools and expertise to protect their organizations.
With a theme of “Enrich. Enable. Excel.” the conference will focus on bringing together leading cybersecurity professionals to advance industry best practices. Over the course of the three-day event, nearly 3,000 cybersecurity professionals, including researchers, frontline practitioners, CISOs and CIOs are expected to share information on the industry’s most pressing topics, including critical infrastructure, IoT, privacy, cloud security, professional development and more.
“Security Congress has become one of the premier cybersecurity conferences in the industry where experts on a wide range of topics meet to exchange best practice insights and stay up to speed on the latest developments,” said Wesley Simpson, COO, (ISC)². “In developing the agenda for the event, we seek out and select the best cybersecurity speakers from around the world to share their experiences and knowledge with the security practitioners who are in the best position to inspire a safe and secure cyber world.”
