Mark your calendar for mWISE™, the unique cybersecurity conference from Mandiant, now part of Google Cloud. Built by practitioners for practitioners, mWISE runs from September 18 – 19, 2024 in Denver, Colorado.
Organizers at mWISE, the highly anticipated cybersecurity conference from Mandiant, have released this year’s session catalog.
Built by practitioners, for practitioners, mWISE is unique among security conferences for featuring prominent security leaders in an intimate setting that allows for one-to-one interactions. The conference is also known for its neutrality, with an emphasis on practical solutions and not vendor-centric content.
According to 2023 attendees, mWISE has “more actionable advice for incident responders and detection engineers than any other conference” as well as “much higher-caliber speakers” and is “everything you could want in a conference.”
From AI to Zero Trust.
At mWISE, submissions to a general Call for Speakers are reviewed, vetted, and chosen by an independent program committee. This year, the conference includes nine content tracks—two more than in 2023—that cover the most urgent issues facing cybersecurity teams today.
The tracks for mWISE 2024 have shaped up as follows:
1. NEW IN 2024: Intersection of AI and Cybersecurity
