Pittsburgh, Pa. — Jan. 21, 2020

As online threats grow, it pays to stay in the know about cybersecurity. Thankfully, there are plenty of events you can attend to keep updated on the latest news and opportunities.

You’ll find an abundance of cybersecurity events in February alone, so no matter where you are or what your schedule is, there is likely a conference for you.

Below you’ll find ten February cybersecurity events to participate in this year.

1. Blacks in Cybersecurity Winter Summit

Feb. 1 – Arlington, Virginia

Starting off the month is the Blacks in Cybersecurity Winter Summit 2020. Focused on highlighting minorities in the industry, this relatively small conference is open to everyone, but may be especially appealing to those interested in representation in cybersecurity.

The summit takes place over just one day and hosts several different speakers as well as workshops and demonstrations. Tickets cost only $20.

2. MANUSEC Europe

Feb. 4-5 – Munich, Germany

The two-day European Cyber Security Summit for Critical Manufacturing (MANUSEC) provides a platform for Europe’s leading IT and OT security experts to share their knowledge and experience with others. The event includes presentations, focus groups, discussion panels and round-table discussions.

Two-day passes cost upwards of $1,000, but discounts are available for groups of three or more.

3. PrivSec London

Feb. 4-5 – London, England

At the same time as MANUSEC is PrivSec 2020 in London, which boats attendees from companies like Microsoft and Goldman Sachs. The conference focuses on issues of privacy and data protection.

5. Offensive Security Conference

Feb. 14-15 – Berlin, Germany

The limited-admission event will hosts discussions on topics like reverse engineering and advanced exploitation techniques. Tickets start around $499, but discounts are available to undergraduate students.

The WiCyS 2020 Conference from Mar. 12-14 in Aurora, Colorado is sold out! But there are still sponsorship opportunities available.
