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.

Top 5 Ransomware Myths
The world’s largest taxi company doesn’t own any cars. The world’s largest accommodation company doesn’t own any property. And some of the largest ransomware groups are not deploying ransomware. Ransomware is no longer a problem discussed only in the cybersecurity and tech communities – it is now a regular topic in mainstream media headlines and executive board meetings. And the idea that we understand how ransomware works is one of the reasons why it is continuously on the rise. Join this session to learn about the latest innovations and business ideas that are shaping the world of cybercrime, and some of the ways how we can turn the modern ransomware ecosystem against itself.

The (hard) key to stop phishing: How Cloudflare stopped a targeted attack and you can too
In July 2022, Cloudflare was targeted in a sophisticated SMS phishing scheme in such a way that we believe most organizations would be likely to be breached. In this session we’ll detail the recent targeted phishing attack we saw at Cloudflare and more importantly, how we stopped it and steps you can take to protect your organization as well. We’ll cover topics like: why not all MFA is created equally, the role of Zero trust network access in rolling out strong authentication, and the importance of a blame-free culture around security.

How to Build an Insider Threat Program
Sometimes just having a SOC isn’t enough to address insider threat issues. Security operations teams are managing massive amounts of data across billions of events from on premises to the cloud. Looking for specific needles like insider threats in this complex haystack has special requirements that encompass both searching historic data and seeing evolving credential behavior changes as they happen.
Whether from downsizing or expanding the business, employees, vendors, contractors, and more are moving in and out of your environment. And often, it is during turbulent times that insider threats go unobserved as everything changes so quickly. Insider threat initiatives require a new, more focused approach.
This presentation will explore:
- The common scenarios that indicate you need an insider threat team, how to build a mission statement, and tools
- Four attributes of a successful insider threat program
- How behavioral analytics baseline “normal” behavior of users and devices – showing risk faster
- An automated investigation experience that replaces manual routines and effectively guides new insider threat teams
