For more than three decades, InfoSec World has united the global cybersecurity community to share insights, sharpen skills, and stay ahead of evolving threats. InfoSec World 2025 promises a forward-looking program October 27–29, 2025 at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, with pre-event workshops Oct 25–26 and post-event workshops Oct 29–30.

Spotlight Summits & Tracks (New!)
This year’s InfoSec World will feature more focused deep dives, clearer paths by role and industry, and faster idea-to-action takeaways. Three new summits aim to deliver exactly that in three different focus areas:
Summit Deep Dives
- AI Summit (Sun, Oct 26): A full-day program on secure AI adoption—from governance and law to adversarial threats, identity spoofing, and securing the AI stack. Expect spirited debates (“AI is just math…”) and highly tactical sessions on DevSecOps, confidential computing, and agentic AI risk.
- CISO Summit (Sun, Oct 26): Senior-leader benchmarks, executive sessions, and a SANS executive exercise—purpose-built for translating strategy to execution. Hear from national-level voices on speed, resilience, and leading through regulatory scrutiny.
- Women in Cyber Summit (Tue, Oct 28): A day of conversation and community featuring panels, leadership firesides, roundtables, and an evening reception—spotlighting the impact of women leaders and practical allyship across the industry.
