2026 Keynote

It's a Dangerous Business: A Fellowship Approach to Cybersecurity

Kevin Tackett

CEO, Secure Ideas

Kevin closed out the CFP season with a Tolkien-flavored keynote on building a cybersecurity community worth being part of, one where twenty-year veterans sit alongside first-year newcomers, and mentorship means lighting the path instead of gatekeeping it.
