Cyberwarfare Conferences In 2023 - 2024

A cyber warfare (or “cyber war”) conference is, as you’d expect, a gathering of people who share a particular interest or background with the goal of meeting one another and learning about and discussing topics, ideas, and projects that are relevant to them – within a military perspective.

Attending these conferences has an obvious huge advantage; you will learn from others and increase your own abilities and knowledge about your field if you attend other presentations.

It’s also crucial to connect with their work, ask questions, and even follow up with a visit following the panel. In our area, networking is crucial, just as it is in every other job.

Attending events in your sector increases your chances of meeting your target prospects or influencers – and in the tight circles of military-cyberwar vendors – this is of vital importance to your business and/or your personal profile.

The Cyberwarfare “Business Sector”

Since early 2001, government authorities and information technology security experts have observed a considerable surge in Internet difficulties and server frauds.

Government agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are becoming increasingly concerned that such intrusions are part of a coordinated effort by cyberterrorist foreign intelligence services or other groups to map potential security holes in critical systems. A cyberterrorist is someone who uses a computer-based assault on computers, networks, or the information stored on them to frighten or compel a government or an organization into advancing his or her political or social goals.

In general, cyberterrorism is described as a terrorist act perpetrated through the use of cyberspace or computer resources.

As a result, a simple Internet propaganda post claiming that bomb attacks will occur around the holidays might be called cyberterrorism. There are additional hacking operations focused on individuals, families, and groups inside networks, with the goal of instilling terror in people, demonstrating power, gathering information relevant to damaging people’s life, robberies, blackmailing – cybercrime – and so on.

Cyberspace has arisen as a national-level issue, according to the US Department of Defense, as a result of many recent geostrategic events. The attack on Estonia’s infrastructure in 2007, which was reportedly carried out by Russian hackers, is one of them.

In August 2008, Russia reportedly carried out cyber strikes on Georgia, this time in a coordinated and synchronized kinetic and non-kinetic campaign. Fearing that such attacks would become the norm in future nation-state conflict, the notion of cyberspace operations will influence and be adopted by future warfighting military commanders.

While there is disagreement over how to define and apply the word “cyberwarfare,” numerous nations, including the US, UK, Russia, China, Israel, Iran, and North Korea, have active cyber capabilities for offensive and defensive operations.

The potential of physical confrontation and violence occurring as a result of, or as part of, a cyber operation is increasing as governments investigate the use of cyber operations and combine capabilities. However, achieving the magnitude and duration of war is doubtful, leaving uncertainty.

Do You Need To Be Security Cleared To Attend Cyberware Conferences?

For the most part – yes – and for obvious reasons.

Many of the Cybersecurity Jobs events and conferences that we list also require a level of security clearance.
