Hackers Love Events. Why Aren't More CISOs Paying Attention?
HelpNet Security, Tuesday, June 17th, 2025
When CISOs think about risk, they usually think about cloud platforms, laptops, and data centers. But live events like conferences, trade shows, product launches, and shareholder meetings bring a different kind of cybersecurity exposure.
These events gather people, devices, and sensitive information in one place, often for just a day or two. That makes them an appealing target.
Events also combine digital and physical systems. A vulnerability in one area can lead to a breach in the other. Yet many organizations still treat events as a logistics issue rather than a security issue.
