Platinum 2

Closing Keynote: State of C-Curity (Security)

Platinum 5 & 6

In a world where the lines between cyber and physical security are increasingly blurred, understanding the convergence of these domains has never been more critical. Join us for a powerful closing keynote led by our C-Suite executives, where we will explore the current state of security across cyber, physical, and the rapidly merging cyber-physical landscape.

This session is designed for both security practitioners and business leaders, offering a comprehensive view of the sophisticated threats we face today. From cyberattacks that can disrupt entire supply chains to physical breaches that can compromise digital infrastructures, our leaders will share their strategic insights and innovative approaches to fortifying defenses in this complex environment.

Expect to walk away with actionable strategies that not only address the current security challenges but also anticipate the future. Whether you're safeguarding digital assets, protecting physical infrastructure, or navigating the convergence of the two, this keynote will provide you with the knowledge and inspiration to lead your organization toward a more secure and resilient future.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from the forefront of security leadership and equip yourself with the tools to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving threat landscape!
