STL Insight Breakfast: 2026 Cybersecurity Threat Outlook

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and there’s no better time for St. Louis leaders to sharpen their focus on the risks shaping our digital future. Cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, and the Metro must prepare for the new vulnerabilities, risks, and challenges that 2026 will bring.

On October 22nd, join TechSTL for a special STL Insight Breakfast on the 2026 Cybersecurity Threat Outlook, bringing together industry experts and frontline leaders to explore the top risks facing St. Louis’s most critical sectors. Hosted at the gorgeous Husch Blackwell offices in Downtown Clayton, the morning will open with a keynote presentation on the current state of the cybersecurity industry and the critical trends organizations must understand to stay secure, especially in the midst of a government shutdown.

Following the keynote, a high-powered panel discussion will feature cybersecurity leaders from the region’s fastest-growing industries—finance, healthcare, manufacturing, geospatial, and beyond—unpacking the threats on the horizon and the strategies our Metro must deploy to prepare. Together, they will highlight the tools, talent, and collaborations needed to safeguard St. Louis as we enter a new era of digital risk.
