Why attend?

Integrating security into development is a critical front in the battle against cyber attacks. The last few years have taught us how important it is to protect your sensitive data, intellectual property, and information systems. Attendees will learn how to do so from industry leaders along with the most current industry trends.

All proceeds from our events are used to provide scholarships to CIS students. For the 2024-2025 academic year, Cyber Summit and the CIS Advisory Board will provide $80,000 in scholarship funding to very deserving students. These awards allow students to concentrate on their studies, lessens the financial stress and debt on their families or allows a student to be more involved in college-wide club, leadership and study abroad opportunities.
