Welcome to Cyber17, our region's premier 17th annual cybersecurity symposium! As the world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, it's more important than ever to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in cybersecurity. That's why we've assembled a dynamic lineup of industry experts, thought leaders, and innovative practitioners to share their knowledge, insights, and best practices.   

At Cyber17, you'll have the opportunity to hear from leading experts in the field of cybersecurity. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, you'll learn about the latest threats, emerging trends, and best practices for keeping your organization secure.

Our speakers will cover topics such as AI and machine learning, ransomware, phishing attacks, cloud and mobile security, and much more. But Cyber17 isn't just about lectures and presentations. You'll hear a thought-provoking conversation between a panel of experts, enjoy a catered lunch, visit sponsor booths, and enjoy a keynote from renowned cybersecurity expert Theresa Payton.

Connect with other cybersecurity professionals at a variety of networking opportunities, between sessions, at lunch, and during the closing cocktail reception. And if that's not enough, Cyber17 will take place at the vibrant Northern Kentucky University. So if you're ready to take your cybersecurity skills to the next level, join us at Cyber17.
