mWise 2024

Mark your calendar for mWISE™, the unique cybersecurity conference from Mandiant, now part of Google Cloud. Built by practitioners for practitioners, it runs from September 18–19, 2024 in Denver, Colorado.

If you’re a security practitioner planning your 2024 conference calendar, you’re not lacking in options. And it might be challenging to understand how one event differs from another.

The truth is, there are substantive differences in security conferences that can have a big impact on not just your experience but your outcomes — who you meet, what you learn, and where it takes your organization and your career.

If you’re looking for an intimate, targeted, practitioner-focused event where you can make one-to-one connections with leaders in the field, you’re looking for mWISE, from Mandiant, now part of Google Cloud.

Uniquely focused on frontliners.

When security leaders and practitioners at Mandiant conceived of mWISE (Mandiant Worldwide Information Security Exchange), they did it to fill a gap in the cybersecurity conference landscape.

mWISE was intentionally created to provide an intimate environment where hands-on, frontline practitioners from industry, academia, and government could share their experiences without fearing judgment or exposure — and where they could form a real, lasting community to get actionable solutions.

Known for its advanced expertise and leadership in cybersecurity, Mandiant is able to draw some of the smartest and most forward-thinking speakers in the industry, inviting them to shed light on the latest innovations and strategies while being directly accessible to attendees.

mWISE places a focus on the following:

  1. Practitioners first. The perspective is from the front lines, with candid discussions of first-hand experiences.
  2. Unique knowledge. Not just any knowledge but what’s most relevant to practitioners right now.
  3. Transparency. Progress can’t be made if organizations aren’t candid about what’s actually happening behind the scenes — and how they’re handling it. That takes safety and trust, which you’ll find at mWISE.
  4. Not vendor-centric. Yes, mWISE has an expo, but the focus of all keynotes and sessions is a knowledge exchange without a commercial agenda.
  5. Inclusivity. mWISE welcomes voices and views from across the cybersecurity community.

The impact is palpable.

mWISE 2023 drew several thousand practitioners from across the country and delivered on its unique promise, as evidenced in attendee testimonials.

Just a few examples:

  • “More actionable advice for incident responders and detection engineers than any other conference.”
  • “Compared to other conferences . . . much higher-caliber speakers, and the content was more actionable and specific.”
  • “Focused on providing expertise and advisory from thought leaders. Not sales-focused.”
  • “Good, small, detailed event — compared to many of the larger . . . vendor-centric conferences.”
  • “An incredibly insightful conference . . . I feel vastly more informed than I did previously.”

mWISE 2024 topics.

What will mWISE tackle this year? The agenda is crafted from an open call for submissions to the security community and curated by an independent panel.

  • AI, AI, and more AI
