2023 Cyber Defense Matrix Conference

Wednesday, February 22nd

Gaylord Texan, Dallas TX

cloud and lock

The inaugural Cyber Defense Matrix Conference will bring together up to 60  senior security leaders, practitioners, and fans of The Cyber Defense Matrix for an intimate, full day of presentations, case studies, and hands-on workshops. Attendees will hear from speakers that have successfully implemented various use cases of the Cyber Defense Matrix. Attendees will also have the chance to collaborate directly with their peers and with the Matrix’s creator, Sounil Yu. 

Space is extremely limited, and tickets are $150 and will be assigned by application only.

We plan to record the sessions, so all applicants (whether given a ticket or not) will receive access to the recordings (you'll just miss out on the hands-on workshops and the real-time interaction.)

Who should apply to attend?

We are prioritizing applicants with a clear and demonstrable interest in implementing the Cyber Defense Matrix. Because the goal is share and exchange insights, preference will be given to those that have attempted to put the Cyber Defense Matrix to use. We want everyone to contribute to the discussions during the sessions and workshops. Practitioners and leaders of all seniority levels are encouraged to apply. All applicants to the inaugural conference will be given priority consideration for future in-person and virtual Cyber Defense Matrix events.
