What is Innovate Cybersecurity?
At Innovate Cybersecurity, our mission is to deliver expert-level education and foster meaningful collaboration among security professionals through conferences and online resources.
Founded in 2018, we launched the Innovate Cybersecurity Summit to create intimate networking opportunities for security experts. Since then, we've expanded to offer threat advisories, educational guides, industry insights, and expert commentary on cybersecurity topics.
What truly sets us apart is that we're built by security practitioners for security practitioners. We share firsthand experiences and real-world findings to deliver actionable information that IT and security teams can trust and depend on.
In 2026, we're bringing Innovate to regional cities across the country so we can expand collaboration and education within local communities.
