MSP 501 Winner 2025Client Portal →The Tech Valley Cybersecurity Symposium has grown from an inaugural gathering at the Waters Edge to a 500-seat flagship at Rivers Casino. Browse every year — speakers, sessions, sponsors, and recordings.
The founding event. An FBI Albany keynote on regional threats, Tyler Wrightson of Leet Cyber Security demonstrating live red-team techniques against small-business networks, and the industry expert panel that set the tone for everything that followed.
An FBI Albany keynote on the federal cybercrime landscape, application-allowlisting clinic with Wes Spencer of ThreatLocker, and a cyber-insurance economics deep-dive with Brendan Hall of Alliant. The year the sponsor program expanded to four tiers.
"Are you prepared?" — Sean Atkinson of the Center for Internet Security delivered the keynote on Zero Trust in the age of generative AI. Anna Mercado Clark traced the data-privacy frontier, Erdal Ozkaya unpacked ransomware economics, and Chant Vartanian made AI-driven attacks concrete.
Security Theater vs. Security Outcomes — Allyn Lynd of Kaseya (former FBI Cyber Division) on what actually moves the risk needle. Paul Mazzucco of TierPoint on the CISO mindset, Dexter Caffey on identity beyond authentication, plus AI roundtables and leadership panels. The full 11-session archive is recorded.
Each year roughly doubled the prior one — in attendance, sponsor commitment, and the body of recorded sessions in the archive.
Five years. The same focus on practical defense for Upstate New York businesses. Free for all attendees — again.
