Change the way you think about readiness and see how you can (and should) change the way your organization prepares for the worse - attend "Pain Management vs Pain Avoidance" today in the Wellness Village at 5pm.

Have you visited our sponsors this year? Get your card stamped at all of them and be entered to win some awesome prizes [like a Nintendo Switch, a Bluetooth speaker, and more]!

How about our spectacular Keynote Speaker, Ian Coldwater?! What was your favorite part of their presentation?

If you slept on our training sessions this year, you really missed out! From teaching new business cyberdefense tactics, to roundtable discussions with experienced CISOs, this year's trainings were top notch. Make sure to consider next year's sessions - you won't regret it.

Headed to @blueteamcon.com - who else is going down? I'm up for IRL convos on damn near any topic but right now things top of mind include: - passkeys - threat intel - red teaming and adopting agentic models - AI economics (i.e. why I like AI and hate AI companies)

If you're like me, and prefer printable conference schedules, or think installing an app for a two day conference is ridiculous, this almost works! I'll be honest though, I often design my own conference schedule layouts 😜 blueteamcon2026.sched.com/venue/Swiss%...
