Since 2007, Waterfall Security Solutions has been providing the highest level of protection for critical infrastructure and vital industries. With headquarters in Israel and offices in UAE, Singapore, USA, Europe, and Australia, Waterfall delivers the highest level of OT protection while enabling safe connectivity and visibility for industrial control systems (ICS). Waterfall Security safeguards the most sensitive and critical infrastructures across a wide range of industries including Power, Oil & Gas, Water Utilities, Rail, Manufacturing, Facilities, and Minting & Metals. As cyber attacks on critical infrastructure are on the rise, software alone isn’t able to deliver sufficient protection. Waterfall solutions uses an innovative approach which combines unique hardware paired with dedicated software that provides 100% unbreachable protection while still allowing remote visibility. Attackers are physically unable to send anything back into the OT systems, creating a real barrier that stops OT cyberattacks and shields industrial controls from any outside attempts to plant malicious code or any other harmful activity.

We put our heart and soul into this Cybersecurity Conference directory.
Way back in 2013 we had another website called “Concise Courses” which used to market and sell InfoSec training courses. We published a blog post listing all the upcoming InfoSec Conferences of that year, and Google loved the resource and put us right to the top of the search engines. That ‘accidental’ occurrence spawned this directory which is maintained by a small team comprising of Henry Dalziel and Charles Villaneuva and a bunch of freelance programmers.
What We Do:
We list, literally, every single Information Security conference, event and seminar within every niche in Cybersecurity.
We have a dedicated team that maintains our in-house tech stack, directory, and data curation.
