Hack Space Con 2026 (Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA, May 6 - 9, 2027) Hack Space Con is a dynamic conference poised at the intersection of cybersecurity, aerospace security, satellite technology, and national defense. The mission of our conference is to introduce industry leaders from these sectors, fostering new business partnerships all while providing opportunities for students, veterans, and underprivileged groups.
CYSAT Paris (Paris, France, May 19 - 20, 2027) CYSAT Paris is the annual flagship of the global space cybersecurity community. For three days, agencies, primes, startups, researchers and hackers converge under one roof to confront the threats reshaping orbital infrastructure.
DEF CON 35 (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Aug 5 - 8, 2027) DEF CON has been a part of the hacker community for over three decades. Originally started in 1993, it was a meant to be a party for member of "Platinum Net", a Fido protocol based hacking network out of Canada. As the main U.S. hub I was helping the Platinum Net organizer (I forget his name) plan a closing party for all the member BBS systems and their users. He was going to shut down the network when his dad took a new job and had to move away. We talking about where we might hold it, when all of a sudden he left early and disappeared. I was just planning a party for a network that was shut down, except for my U.S. nodes. I decided what the hell, I'll invite the members of all the other networks my BBS (A Dark Tangent System) system was a part of including Cyber Crime International (CCI), Hit Net, Tired of Protection (ToP), and like 8 others I can't remember. Why not invite everyone on #hack? Good idea!
Events
THREATCON1 (Reston, Virginia, USA, Oct 5 - 7, 2026) A place where leaders in cyber threat response collaborate to get better, smarter, and faster in how we protect our global economy and national security. THREATCON1 brings together security researchers, cyber operators, and business leaders for three days of keynotes, technical sessions, hands-on challenges, and high-impact networking.
Uniting Women in Cyber 2026 (Tysons, Virginia, USA, Oct 8, 2026) At UWIC 2026, our theme Creative Cyber: Amplified Intelligence reflects the energy and evolution of cybersecurity today. Join us to explore how human ingenuity and AI come together to outpace emerging threats and build a more creative, resilient future.
AI Security Summit 2026: Runtime Trust (Virtual, Oct 21 - 22, 2026) AI agents no longer just request access. They take action. They plan, negotiate, and execute across your cloud and enterprise systems, often without a human in the loop. Traditional security answers one question: should this user have access? It has no answer for the one that matters now: should this agent be allowed to take this action, right now, in this context?
That's the question AARM (Autonomous Action Runtime Management) was built to answer. Originally developed by Vanta and donated to the Cloud Security Alliance as an open, vendor-neutral specification, AARM defines how to intercept an agent's actions before they execute, evaluate them against context and policy, and stop the ones that shouldn't happen. Nearly 100 companies are already building on it, and CSA is now the permanent home stewarding where it goes next.
Join CSA, Vanta, and Insecure Agents for the AI Security Summit 2026: Runtime Trust, a free, two-day virtual event on October 21–22, 2026, going deep on AARM alongside STAR for AI Level 2 and the fastest-moving, time-sensitive frontier of AI security shaping the year ahead.
Cyber Innovation Conference (Washington, DC, USA, Oct 26 - 27, 2026) The Cyber Innovation Conference brings together 600+ cybersecurity leaders, founders, investors, and operators shaping what comes next in cyber for two days of high-signal programming, executive roundtables, an Innovation Expo, and curated networking.
