What is Innovate Cybersecurity?

At Innovate Cybersecurity, our mission is to deliver insightful educational content and foster a community of collaborative security professionals through our in-person conference series and online resources.

Founded in 2018 with the launch of the Innovate Cybersecurity Summit, our goal has always been to provide expert-level education in a more intimate setting that encourages meaningful networking among security professionals.

Following the success of our conferences, we expanded our mission to serve the broader cybersecurity community. Today, Innovate offers timely advisories on emerging threats and vulnerabilities, in-depth educational guides, industry insights, and candid commentary on a wide range of cybersecurity topics.

What makes Innovate unique is that it is built by security practitioners, for security practitioners. As technical security professionals, we share our firsthand experiences and industry findings to cut through the noise and deliver actionable information that IT and security teams can rely on to excel in their roles.

In  2025, we are excited to bring Innovate to local cities across the country. By building regional communities, we aim to further empower security professionals and expand the reach of meaningful collaboration and education.
