Cybersecurity Roundtables
Discuss.
Inspire.
Roundtable it.
Join industry experts for impactful discussions exploring cutting-edge practices and breakthrough innovations.
As cybersecurity professionals, we wake up to a seemingly new concern every day. The threats we face change continually, from nation states to teenagers to competitors, we are challenged constantly to understand the threats to our organizations, and the risks that those threats may be realized.

In the midst of a changing threat and risk landscape, we are also challenged to keep our arms around the assets we manage and the changing security and privacy laws that affect those assets. And since it is a given, that no matter how diligent we may be, we will come under attack, we need to be prepared to react and recover from those attacks.
Finally, we have to pay attention to the people involved in our world. We have a tremendous gap in the talent available today and the needs of the cybersecurity industry. And of course, given the stress of the work we all do, we need to be concerned for the welfare of our teams and ourselves.
Join us this year to explore these topics and expand your professional network!
