As we look toward a new decade of cyberthreats, it’s clear that ongoing education isn’t optional for security professionals — it’s mandatory. In a recent Fortinet survey, chief information security officers (CISOs) cited a need for learning and development among security teams, including greater awareness of threats and tactics to respond to the latest risks.
The top cybersecurity conferences in 2020 offer unique opportunities for security professionals to learn directly from industry experts, researchers and their peers. Some of the best events in the coming year will offer success stories, hands-on workshops, networking, certification and countless other opportunities. While it’s nearly impossible to highlight all of the security conferences happening in 2020, the following list focuses on top cybersecurity events in the U.S., organized by date.
