NICE Conference & Expo: Strengthening Ecosystems (Dallas, Texas, USA, Jun 3 – 5, 2024) This year’s conference theme “Strengthening Ecosystems: Aligning Stakeholders to Bridge the Cybersecurity Workforce Gap” highlights the collective effort to strengthen the cybersecurity landscape. By joining forces with key partners, we can foster a more robust cybersecurity ecosystem to bridge the workforce gap.

CYBERSAT24 (Reston, Virginia, USA, Nov 18 – 20, 2024) CyberSat Summit has been at the forefront of the satellite industry’s burgeoning cybersecurity landscape since the event’s launch in 2017. Initially run as a single annual event, it morphed into two separate events in recent years – CyberLEO and CyberSatGov. This was done in response to changing market conditions, most notably the huge growth of LEO satellites and the corresponding rise of commercial interest in space.

While CyberSatGov and CyberLEO were successful independently, the continued demand for LEO architectures and the ever-increasing collaboration between government and industry meant that these conversations needed to happen under one roof. As a result, 2024 will feature a single CyberSat event in November, where for the first time in its 7-year history, we will nearly double the event’s content offerings to include two concurrent tracks – one track titled “Space Infrastructure” and the second track titled “Space Data & Technology.”

The “Space Infrastructure” track will continue CyberSat’s legacy focus on the overall satellite cybersecurity ecosystem and the protection of tangible assets like ground systems and satellite components, while the new “Space Data & Technology” track will focus on emerging technologies and the protection of space’s intangible assets like data. Keynotes, and a handful of general sessions, will contain talks that apply to all attendees.

Spring 2024 CISSP Study Group presented by ISSA Central MD (Columbia, or virtual, Maryland, USA, Feb 20 – May 1, 2024) Our Study Group fosters a learning environment to better absorb and understand the material.
