SecureWorld is proud to partner with you, as you help make your region and our country safer, by collaborating at one of the 15 regional SecureWorld cybersecurity conferences happening this year.

Never been to SecureWorld? Is it really worth your time? What can you expect to walk away with?

Great questions, all, and your peers have answers. Consider it the 10 reasons we should all collaborate this year:

Here are 5 of the 10 reasons your peers say we should collaborate this year at SecureWorld:

Michael Roling, CISO, State of Missouri:
"We need to start collaborating now, because, we all sit on a wealth of information. Many of us are becoming more and more mature, and so we have all this great threat intel and we need to start sharing that with each other, to get ahead of the attacks."

Milinda Rambel-Stone, Sr. Director of Global Security, SPS Commerce:
"We're so inundated with the details of daily life that you can lose sight of the connection points and the necessity to share across the industry. And by us coming together and teaching each other, you're doing it in safe way. And there is something really valuable about building that network."

Jimmy Sanders, Netflix DVD, President of ISSA Bay Area chapter:
"I’m involved with SecureWorld because I love organizations that are working with the community and trying to improve cybersecurity as a whole. Our goal as cybersecurity practitioners is that we’re trying to not only make our companies more secure but the security environment better."

Sheryl Rose, SVP & CISO, Catholic Health Initiatives:
"I love coming to SecureWorld. It’s great to meet my peers and other people that work against the same issues we do, everyday."

James Beeson, VP & CISO, Cigna:
"To be able to leverage best practices. 'Oh, I've tried that, have you tried this? Here's the process we put into place,' things like that. And there are a lot of people spending time, energy and money to develop new products, tools and services. That can help us in this space. So this is also an opportunity, without having an hour meeting with each them, to sort of in a concentrated space, to learn about the new technologies that are out there.

Amazingly, none of them mentioned CPE credits for themselves or for their team. But that could be reason 11.

We look forward to meeting you at SecureWorld in 2018!
