Future of Cybersecurity ’s Virtual Conference
During the COVID19 crisis, cyber security has never been more important
As the coronavirus crisis leads to drastic changes across the board, businesses have had to adjust quickly. But cyber security has never been more important, which is why we have decided to run the Future of Cyber Security as a virtual event.
Following hot on the heels of Cyber News Group’s highly successful 2019 events, the Future of Cyber Security’s Virtual Conference will be better than ever, including live interviews with former Cambridge Analytica Whistle-blower Brittany Kaiser and hacking group Anonymous.
Attracting an exclusive audience of senior industry executives, the conference will feature topics relevant to the current COVID-19 crisis as a huge number of employees across all industries are required to work from home.
There is no doubt that cyber-criminals are already jumping on opportunities to exploit employees working remotely during coronavirus, and the number of cyber-attacks will increase, according to Europol.
Indeed, cyber-criminals are already profiting from the pandemic, with phishing campaigns designed to steal employees’ credentials and compromise business systems, the agency has warned.
Shockingly, hackers are also looking to take advantage of weaknesses in healthcare systems despite the very real-life risk this poses. Interpol’s Cybercrime Threat Response has detected a “significant increase” in the number of attempted ransomware attacks against key organisations around the world. And this is only the start.

CISO Insight
Industry events remain one of the most effective ways for security leaders to stay current, build peer networks, and discover approaches that no vendor whitepaper can teach. The hallway conversations between sessions — where practitioners share what actually worked and what failed — consistently deliver more actionable intelligence than the formal presentations themselves.
Why Cybersecurity Events Matter for Practitioners
The cybersecurity industry moves at a pace where knowledge has a short half-life. Techniques that were cutting-edge 18 months ago may already be outdated. Threat actors evolve continuously, and defenders must keep pace. Industry events — conferences, summits, forums, and workshops — serve as concentrated knowledge-transfer mechanisms where practitioners can absorb months of industry developments in days. Beyond the formal agenda, events create opportunities for informal knowledge exchange that drives real operational improvement. CISOs discussing challenges over coffee, incident responders comparing detection approaches, architects debating implementation strategies — these peer interactions produce insights impossible to replicate through online content alone.
Building a Strategic Approach to Industry Engagement
For CISOs managing limited time and travel budgets, being selective about events is essential. The most valuable events combine technical depth with strategic relevance, attract genuine practitioners rather than just vendors, and provide structured networking. Regional events often deliver more value per hour than mega-conferences because the community is smaller and more focused. I recommend mixing one or two large international events with several focused regional forums for the best balance of breadth and depth. The connections made at these events prove invaluable during incident response, technology evaluations, and career transitions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should CISOs choose which cybersecurity events to attend?
Prioritise events that align with your current strategic priorities, attract peers from your industry sector, and provide opportunities for genuine peer interaction beyond vendor presentations. Look for strong speaker curation, hands-on workshops, and structured networking opportunities.
What is the ROI of attending cybersecurity conferences?
The return comes in multiple forms: peer intelligence that informs strategy, vendor evaluations from practitioners, talent pipeline development, and professional growth. CISOs who invest in event attendance consistently report that connections made prove valuable during incidents, evaluations, and transitions.
