Information

The Southwest Cybersecurity Summit

Building for the Future

Advanced persistent threats. Zero-day attacks. Insider threats.

The cyber landscape is changing.  Emerging cyber tactics are designed to evade traditional cyber defenses and escape detection. 

Experts agree that if business or government leaders are not concerned, it just means they are not paying enough attention.

Attend CyberWest to learn about and discuss technologies and strategies that can help defend your systems and data against evolving cyber threats, today and into the future.

  • Interact with Keynote speakers from government and industry
  • Get tips on implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
  • Provide input on emerging Cyber R&D efforts
  • Learn about cyber risk transfer and impacts on capital markets
  • Hear proactive strategies for weathering the "Perfect Cyber Sandstorm" from ACTRA and the FBI AZ Infragard
  • Understand Industry-Academia partnerships that are growing the cyberworkforce

Purpose

This event brings together top industry experts and government leaders to address the cyber problem in the context of what we can and should be doing to build resilience and protection in our enterprises and Government. 

Attendees will learn about changing Government policy, cyber research trends, and the latest in protection and resilience.  It explores how the nation is dealing with cyber and what we are doing now to build a more secure future.

Workshops – May 14, 2014

Workshops are half-day education and training sessions on specific topics that allow audience and speakers to spend time examining each topic to a deeper level of understanding.  Each workshop can be no longer than 4 hours.  Workshops may have multiple speakers and may be organized can also be proposed with no more than four speakers.  Abstracts should be no more than 150 words (Half page single spaced text) and show how the presentation supports the theme of the workshop.  In addition, alternate workshop topics may be proposed, but only four workshops will be held.  Below are suggested workshop topics:
