Alabama Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit 2026
Overview
The Alabama Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit is where government defends the future.
This public sector-focused event brings together IT security leaders, risk managers, and public officials to tackle the evolving cyber threats facing state and local government. Through expert-led sessions, peer exchange, and real-world case studies, attendees gain practical strategies to strengthen cyber resilience, protect critical infrastructure, and lead with confidence in an age of constant risk. Designed specifically for the public sector, this summit delivers insights you can act on and alliances you can trust!
After working closely with GovTech over the past ten years to host Alabama’s annual Digital Government Summit, the Office of Information Technology looks forward to expanding our partnership as we prepare for the State’s inaugural Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit. We are excited for this opportunity to bring together IT leaders and security professionals from across Alabama’s public sector to hear from an impressive lineup of nationally recognized cyber experts, as well as to network, collaborate, and learn from one another. We look forward to having you join us at the 2026 Cyber Summit in Montgomery this June!
- Daniel Urquhart, Secretary of Information Technology, Chief Information Officer, State of Alabama
As security leaders, we know that cyber threats are no longer hypothetical; they are persistent, increasingly sophisticated, and growing ever more common. Public sector security professionals must shoulder a seemingly endless range of responsibilities to ensure that our systems and data are as safe and secure as possible. Events like the Alabama Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit are invaluable because they equip security teams with practical knowledge, effective tools, and proven strategies that aid in the prevention of, response to, and recovery from cyber incidents. I hope you will make plans to attend!
