Pittsburgh, Pa. — Feb. 19, 2020

From ambitious InfoSec professionals to executives, and on to folks who are merely conscientious about their data privacy, everyone must keep their fingers on the pulse of the cybersecurity market.

Its ever-evolving nature means it’s nearly impossible to stay on the bleeding edge, yet still necessary to remain informed and clued-in about what’s happening. From high-profile attacks and events to the tools and methods used to combat them, just about everyone has a vested interest these days.

If anything, the concept of a digital transformation — happening across every organization known to humankind — has only made it more vital than ever to keep up with cybersecurity news.

That’s precisely why we’re back with our monthly cybersecurity calendar, which includes some of the most significant events for the month. You should either be attending or planning to check out one of the functions listed.

Here are all your March cybersecurity events. Due to the Novel Coronavirus, and in the interest of health and safety, some have been omitted:

1. Command Control – Mar. 3 – Munich, Germany

Aimed at CXO (chief executive officer) level professionals, the European Cybersecurity Summit — also called Command Control — is meant for leaders and decision-makers.

The theme of the conference centers around the modern digital transformation, to help business leaders grow awareness and knowledge on cybersecurity risks and challenges.

2. IAPP Data Protection Initiative – Mar. 11 – London, UK

Thanks to new legislation and a strong focus on data security and privacy for U.K. citizens, businesses that operate in the country have a responsibility to secure all systems, data and solutions.
