Join us in McLean, VA for Impact.
And hear from world-leading academics about their latest research on the human aspect of cyber security.
Every year, CybSafe hosts IMPACT—a free conference that puts the latest research on the human aspect of cybersecurity on center stage.
Like its predecessors, the first USA IMPACT will bring researchers together to share knowledge on their understanding of the human factor in cybersecurity with industry experts, security practitioners, and policymakers.
Working together with MITRE, NCA and NIST to facilitate networking, collaboration, and real change on personal, organizational, and policy levels.
