Why Attend ISS 2026?
This year’s theme, ENGAGE, is all about bringing the UC community together to strengthen how we approach cybersecurity. You’ll hear from engaging speakers, discover innovative ideas from across the UC system, and walk away with practical insights you can use in your day-to-day work.
Expect sessions that dive into:
- Emerging cyber threats and how to stay ahead of them
- Privacy, governance and compliance strategies
- Real-world stories and lessons learned from UC experts
It’s not just about learning: it’s about connecting with peers who face the same challenges and opportunities you do.
