The Final Frontier:

There’s no doubt the COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for wider, faster change within the cybersecurity threat landscape. With this sudden rise in threat activity, along with more sophisticated threat actors, we have entered a new age of cybersecurity that demands we confront threats with renewed resilience, agility and innovation.

With this in mind, we are pleased to announce Secure Miami returns in-person with a virtual component on May 5th, 2022, bringing together IT security professionals to discuss pressing cyber security challenges. The 2022 agenda is designed to not only shape discussions to support guidance on breach prevention, but also to provide practical insights and tools required to aid security leaders in tackling the common security challenges we’re facing in this new era.

Secure Miami 2022 aims to deliver the premier in-person conference that we are known for, with high-quality content across multiple panels, keynotes, etc, while offering a choice for those who prefer to attend virtually.
