The event, which featured a series of keynote presentations, workshops and networking sessions from the world’s foremost international security experts, hosted more than 800 attendees who discussed the key challenges and opportunities that ISF member companies and businesses will face in 2016.

“Each year, our World Congress provides world-renowned international security professionals and leading global vendors the occasion to discuss and find resolutions to today’s most significant security challenges,” said Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF. “Organizations recognize the sizable benefits the ISF brings to both our member companies, and the industry as a whole, and our twenty-sixth annual event was once again a great success. The event provided a private and comfortable setting where the foremost authorities in the industry met and shared ideas to solve the future challenges presented by cyber security and information risk management.”
