Cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace. From ransomware operations and AI-enabled attacks to increasingly sophisticated phishing and global cybercrime networks, today’s security leaders must understand the tactics, technologies, and intelligence shaping the modern threat landscape.

CyberCon: Inside the Global Threatscape brings together cybersecurity experts, practitioners, and industry leaders for a full-day conference exploring the realities of defending organizations in a rapidly shifting digital battlefield.

Hosted at Greater St. Louis, Inc. in Downtown St. Louis, this immersive event dives into the front lines of cybersecurity, featuring insights from professionals working in threat intelligence, adversary emulation, enterprise security operations, and cyber risk management.

Throughout the day, attendees will explore topics including the human intelligence behind ransomware investigations, how organizations simulate real-world adversaries to strengthen their defenses, the intersection of artificial intelligence and cyber risk, and the growing role of bug bounty ecosystems and security research in protecting digital infrastructure. Additional sessions will examine how modern phishing attacks are evolving, how organizations can embed security earlier in development pipelines, and what it takes to meet emerging cybersecurity compliance standards in both commercial and defense environments.

CyberCon will also examine one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: the future of cybersecurity talent—including how companies, universities, and training organizations are working together to build scalable pipelines for the next generation of cyber professionals.

Whether you're a security practitioner, IT leader, developer, government partner, or technology executive, CyberCon offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with the strategies, tools, and insights shaping the global cybersecurity threatscape.
