Past event: Cyber Security for Defense 2016 Conference

Defending America From Cyber Attacks


After the incredibly successful inaugural year, Cyber Security for Defense returns to Augusta, Georgia to once again bring together the Cyber community and discuss the challenges it faces.

Start Counting...


The definition of cybersecurity, and what it means to be protected in a virtual environment, is constantly evolving.  For the defense sector protecting the Nations secrets, new technologies, and personnel, is a no-fail mission and takes relentless vigilance.  Everyday tens of thousands of cyber attacks are initiated world wide, with a vast majority of them aimed at the United States and her allies. If even a single one of these attacks are successful, the effects could potentially be devastating.

For the second year in a row, we are pleased to announce the return of our flag ship cyber event - aimed specifically at cybersecurity concerns and issues affecting those with the most at risk - the defense sector.   Join us as we explore the hottest topics of the day as explained by the most respected experts in the defense sector.  


Now Stop.
