Missouri Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit 2026
Overview
The Missouri 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!
Welcome to our 2026 Cybersecurity Summit! We are thrilled to see such an incredible turnout as we gather to confront an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. As we navigate this era, Artificial Intelligence remains as our defining double-edged sword—serving as a powerful tool for adversaries to automate attacks, while simultaneously acting as our greatest defensive protection for real-time threat prediction and incident response. Looking ahead, we must proactively future proof our organizations by shifting toward Post-Quantum Cryptography to secure our data before quantum computing renders legacy encryption obsolete. This summit serves as an important collaborative space for security leaders to break down silos and share intelligence. I want to extend a huge thank you to each one of you for participating, bringing your expertise, and driving us toward a resilient digital future.
