Next Threat. Next Move. Cybersecurity is a battlefield. To delay is defeat. Hesitate for one second and you’re already behind. Next Threat. Next Move. is a call to act — decisively, intelligently, and with purpose. This year’s conference explores the latest cyber risks, and the bold responses required to outpace them. From real-time incident response to emerging AI-driven threats, we’ll examine how security professionals can stay one step ahead through strategy, speed, and innovation. The next threat is already here. The next move is yours. |  |
| Keynote Speaker Whole of Cyber – The Future of Federal, State, and Local Government Cyber Strategy Kirk Herath has been at the center of shaping how governments respond to cyber risk. As Ohio’s Cybersecurity Strategic Advisor and Chair of CyberOhio, he helped build a statewide strategy that strengthened local government readiness, elevated workforce development, and improved coordination across public agencies. At #OISC26, Kirk will tackle one of the most pressing challenges facing the field: Whole of Cyber – The Future of Federal, State, and Local Government Cyber Strategy. Join us as we explore the State of Ohio’s recent cyber approach, the shifting role of Federal support, the expanding responsibilities of local governments, and why public and private collaboration is now mission critical. |
