MSSN CTRL is not just another cybersecurity conference.

MSSN CTRL is a cybersecurity conference that focuses on innovative practices and how they are changing the way security has been traditionally practiced for the past decade. The conference aims to provide deep technical training and hands-on sessions that will equip attendees with the right methods and tools to protect their organizations or customers.

The conference spans two days and will offer an immersive experience where attendees will have the opportunity to meet with engineers, analysts, and leaders from the most prominent cybersecurity startups, security service providers, and some of the best SOC teams around the globe. The conference is designed with practitioners in mind, and attendees will have the chance to hear directly from others in the field as they share real stories of what challenges they face and how they overcome them.

In addition to the technical training and hands-on sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to collaborate, debrief with peers, expand their network, and leave inspired to do security differently. MSSN CTRL is an excellent opportunity for practitioners to stay up to date with the latest trends and gain valuable insights into how to improve their organization's security infrastructure.

If you are looking for new ways of thinking and new emerging technologies to solve your security problems, this is the event for you. If you have fallen victim to adding acronyms to your technology stack, we don’t blame you - but challenge you to open your mind to a new frontier.

Do I need to be vaccinated against COVID-19?

• We understand that the last few years have been a challenging time for all. Based on the latest fully vaccinated rate of nearly 70% in the US from the CDC, we will not be requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination nor requiring masks for the event at this time. That said, our team is working with the venue and have determined that they have:
  
  
  • Performed necessary preventive maintenance and confirmed optimal communication with the building automation system (BAS).
  • Increased outside air levels beyond what is typically recommended by ASHRAE and building codes in order to promote the dilution of indoor contaminants.
  • Programmed flushing sequence before and after operating hours via BAS.
  • Increased inspections and replacement of filters.
  • Installed the highest MERV rating on filters allowable per specifications of the HVAC.
  
  Masks and hand sanitizing stations will be available on-site. If you experience any COVID-19-like symptoms leading up to or during the event, we respectfully ask that you stay home and will provide you with a full refund.
