As COVID-19 continues to surge across the globe and corporate travel restrictions put in place, (ISC)² has announced its decision to make its Security Congress for 2020 a virtual conference . The renowned three-day conference, focused on industry discussion and continuing education for security professionals of all levels, will be held online from November 16-18.

This decision is in recognition of the fact that many training budgets have been reallocated due to the economic impact of COVID-19. As such, (ISC)² Security Congress 2020 is offering a heavily discounted Early Bird pricing to (ISC)² members and associates of just $295 for an All-Access pass and $395 for non-members.

Registration details will be announced when open, as well as more information on the full program agenda. Check https://www.isc2.org/Congress for routine updates.

This year’s event will feature upwards of 40 sessions by presenters from around the globe. (ISC)² members will also have the opportunity to earn as many as 45 continuing professional education (CPE) credits – more than any other previous Security Congress – by attending live and on-demand sessions. Professional development sessions will provide actionable insights into a wide array of both technical and soft skills topics including Cloud Security, DevSecOps, Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), Career Development, Privacy, workforce challenges and more.

By making the event virtual and drastically reducing the pricing, this year’s Security Congress will be more accessible than ever before, especially to those outside the U.S. for whom travel – even in a normal year – can be prohibitive. Security Congress will now be able to bring the global cybersecurity community together and make the best out of one of the most challenging years our profession has ever faced.
