We see the world of cybersecurity differently.
We’re fighting a different battle than conventional cybersecurity companies, relentlessly focused on securing data. Data assets are the most valuable – and vulnerable – components of the global economy. Along with employees, data is at the heart of almost every organization, yet conventional cybersecurity solutions, by themselves, have failed to protect it.
On average, 20% of an organization’s data is accessible to every employee. Seventy percent of attacks take months or years to discover. But not for our customers.
Our customers always know where their most valuable data is – on premises or in the cloud. Only the right people have access to only the right data. With real-time awareness of how employees use data, our clients flag and stop malicious behavior in its tracks.
Information Technology has become a vital part of today’s business. Technology enables you to operate in ways that were impossible a generation ago. Modern technology does more than keep your business running smoothly, it connects customers, employees, suppliers and partners to communicate better, plus enables business leaders to manage costs more efficiently, and sell products and services in new and different ways.
IP Pathways believes capital investments in technology should help businesses grow revenue, increase customer satisfaction, drive efficiencies, lower costs and create a competitive advantage. At IP Pathways, our mission is to be an expert provider of hybrid IT solutions by delivering world-class engineering services supported by high-touch customer service.
We were founded on a simple philosophy—do whatever it takes for the customer. We do this using a simple formula—deliver best-in-class technology and focus on the customer.
IP Pathways provides IT hardware and software, data center, cloud, professional and managed services, and hybrid IT solutions to small, medium-sized and enterprise customers throughout the Midwest. Our award-winning engineering team architects, implements, monitors, supports and manages private and hybrid cloud solutions for your data center, our data center or any data center.

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.
International Council of E-Commerce Consultants, also known as EC-Council, is the world’s largest cyber security technical certification body. We operate in 145 countries globally and we are the owner and developer of the world-famous Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator (C|HFI), Certified Security Analyst (ECSA), License Penetration Testing (Practical) programs, among others. We are proud to have trained and certified over 200,000 information security professionals globally that have influenced the cyber security mindset of countless organizations worldwide.
Our certification programs are recognized worldwide and have received endorsements from various government agencies including the US Federal Government via the Montgomery GI Bill, and the US Government National Security Agency (NSA) and the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) certifying EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacking (CEH), Network Security Administrator (ENSA), Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator (CHFI), Disaster Recovery Professional (EDRP), Certified Security Analyst (E|CSA) and Licensed Penetration Tester(LPT) program for meeting the 4011, 4012, 4013A, 4014, 4015 and 4016 training standards for information security professionals and most recently EC-Council has received accreditation from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Humans are the Weakest Link – Corona Edition
Join our informative presenter Tracy Jon Sargeant at Check Point for a story of too many threat vectors to count, a story of how people make mistakes, a story with hidden twists and turns, and how persistence can pay off in a really forgettable way when it comes to Phishing and the number 81, and how a massive safe haven saves the day. Don’t worry, the story has a good ending, but you’ll need to stick around to find out. All names will be changed to protect the innocent.
In this session you’ll get up to speed and current on:
– How humans are our weakest link in Corona times, in the new “Work From Anywhere” normal
– Cybersecurity “blind spots” which may have been revealed, or further disguised in Corona times
– Peek into the minds of a global Cyber research powerhouse and understand how it can benefit your security strategy
– Implications of a potential cyber “pandemic” on a different order of magnitude mirroring the biological pandemic

Conquering Cyber Risk in 3rd Party Communications
The Enterprise Content Firewall
To do their jobs, employees must share IP, PII, PHI, and all means of sensitive content with customers, suppliers, partners and a broad ecosystem of trusted 3rd parties. However, they put the organization at risk when they communicate across untrusted devices, networks, applications and identities. How can you prevent beaches and compliance violations from everyday 3rd party communications when you can’t even see what’s going on? This session explores the need for a next-generation “content firewall” that rises above packets and traffic to inspect content and communication, and thereby ensure confidentiality, compliance and control of risky 3rd party business processes.
Live Panel Discussion
Panel Discussion: Preparing for 2021 – a post-pandemic plan. Will we return to normalcy?
Everyone is anticipating to return to work at some point next year, as a CISO what does that mean for you?
What will work look like? Will your job be changing? What risks will we face? Is it possible to return to the old normal?
