What is the WTC Cybersecurity Summit About?

Learn, connect, and exchange insights with like-minded peers at the World Trade Center, where security and resilience have always been a priority. As new challenges emerge, safety is no longer just about the physical world—cybersecurity is now essential to protecting our community.

By bringing together CISOs, security leaders, and industry experts, we will explore strategies to strengthen our digital defenses and adapt to an evolving threat landscape.

We are stronger together, and together, we are committed to ensuring that the World Trade Center remains one of the safest places to work and do business. Join us as we shape the future of security through collaboration, continuous learning, and shared expertise.
