Share Your Perspective at CYBERSEC

CYBERSEC invites cybersecurity experts, researchers, academics, and industry practitioners from around the world to share insights drawn from their work, research, technical expertise, and industry observations.
Cybersecurity advances through the exchange of expertise, experience, and perspectives from across the industry. We value practical experience and clear, meaningful insights. We look for sessions that go beyond identifying a challenge and help audiences gain new understanding or practical takeaways. Sessions are expected to focus on knowledge sharing and professional exchange, not serve as sales pitches or promotional showcases for products or services.
We invite you to take the CYBERSEC stage, share your perspective, and join the global cybersecurity community in exploring what comes next.

Submission Guidelines
  1. Be Specific: Provide enough detail for the review committee to assess the depth, credibility, expertise, and substance of your proposed session. Focus on what you will share and what attendees will learn, rather than spending too much time describing the severity of the problem.
  2. Be Educational: Go beyond raising awareness or explaining terminology. A strong session should deepen attendees' understanding and help them apply what they learn to make better judgments, put knowledge into practice, respond to challenges, strengthen governance, or make more informed decisions in their work. Sessions should not primarily promote specific products, services, or companies.
  3. Show Why You: A strong topic alone is not enough. The review committee also considers your expertise, firsthand experience, original research, professional responsibilities, and unique insights when evaluating submissions.
