‘Can’t Miss’ InfoSec Events for Summer ’17

Information security is one of the most important areas in enterprise IT today, and it’s only becoming more prominent as large-scale breaches of corporate networks continue to shake consumer trust and incite ever-increasing government regulation.  Worldwide spending on information security grew 7.9% to $81.6 billion in 2016, according to IT research and analysis firm Gartner, Inc.,  and there’s no sign of a spending slowdown in 2017.

But Enterprise information security is changing fast— from SIEM to big data security analytics, IAM to IDaaS— it can all get a little dizzying. Fail to keep up with the latest trends and techniques and you could leave your corporate network and information dangerously exposed.

Here at Solutions Review, we do our best to provide IT professionals with the top SIEM best practices, news and buyer’s guides, but sometimes you need a little extra push, the kind you can only get in person.

We understand, and that’s why we’ve created this list of the top InfoSec conferences and events for Summer 2017. If you’re looking for top-notch speakers, vendor demos, and networking opportunities, then these should be your go-to, must-attend events, so check them out.
