Its cloud compatible cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) platform continuously scans, identifies, classifies and reports on sensitive data across the organization, simplifying compliance reporting, vulnerability management and risk remediation.
Your developer’s laptop is just a hop away from cloud infrastructure. ☁️ Attackers don’t think in silos, so why would you have siloed solutions protecting public cloud, private cloud, containers, laptops, and servers? Uptycs reduces #risk by prioritizing your responses to threats, #vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, sensitive #data exposure, and compliance mandates across your modern attack surface—all from a single platform, UI, and data model. This includes the ability to tie together threat activity as it traverses on-prem and cloud boundaries, thus delivering a more cohesive enterprise-wide security posture. Looking for acronym coverage? We have that, too, including #CNAPP, #CWPP, #CSPM, #KSPM, #CIEM, #CDR, and #XDR. Start with your Detection Cloud, Google-like search, and the attack surface coverage you need today. Be ready for what’s next… and #ShiftUp with Uptycs.

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.
