As ever-greater amounts of trivial and personal information are digitalized, the demand for cybersecurity and protection from things like identity theft is growing higher. Not surprisingly, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment for information security analysts is expected to grow upwards of 33% by 2030. This makes cybersecurity trade shows important events to participate in.
And while information and networking are moving online, connecting with like-minded people in person is still valuable. Consequently, events like trade shows and exhibits are essential for building relationships with clients, investors, and other experts and professionals.
Because of this, we have taken the time to craft a list of the most important, high-quality, cybersecurity trade shows taking place this year. These shows will bring you close to some of the world's most renowned professionals, as well as provide opportunities to network with security and IT experts.
