8th Annual UNCW Cybersecurity Conference
About this Event
The 8th Annual UNCW Cybersecurity Conference is one of the region’s leading events dedicated to cybersecurity education, collaboration, and innovation.
Whether you are a cybersecurity professional, business leader, government representative, researcher, educator, or student, the conference will offer valuable insights, practical knowledge, and opportunities to connect with experts from government, industry, and academia.
This year’s program features two specialized tracks:
🔹 Cyber Trends
🔹 Maritime Cybersecurity
The Cyber Trends Track will address emerging threats, cybersecurity practices, workforce development, artificial intelligence (AI), risk management, and other important issues affecting organizations and communities.
The Maritime Cybersecurity Track will examine cyber risks, resilience, and regulatory readiness across vessels, ports, maritime facilities, transportation systems, and the broader Marine Transportation System, including the implementation of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System requirements under 33 CFR Part 101, Subpart F.
Both tracks will feature expert presentations, panel discussions, practical sessions, and opportunities for professional networking and collaboration.
Explore the speakers, sessions, and schedules for both conference tracks below.
