ISC West 2026 Concludes, Anchoring the Global Standard for Digital Trust and Converged Security

ISC West 2026 closed at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas after drawing more than 29,000 security professionals and over 750 exhibiting brands. The show covers the intersection of physical protection and IT infrastructure, positioning itself across physical, IT and internet-of-things security rather than physical security alone. Content features included a Security Experience Center activated by SAGE Integration showing biometrics and environmental sensors, a Digital Trust and Identity featured area sponsored by HID, and the inaugural ISC StartUps programme for emerging technology firms. More than 120 education sessions used the Rozie.AI Synopsis platform for AI-assisted learning, and a Cyber Hub hosted live hacking activities run by the Cal Poly Pomona Cyber Team. An ISC Pro tier offered a premium attendee experience, and country artist Chris Lane performed. Speakers included Haywood Talcove of LexisNexis Risk Solutions and former US Secret Service agent Paul Eckloff on identity fraud, Keith White of Salesforce on digital-first corporate protection, and Dr Jessica Barker MBE on the psychology of cybersecurity. Event Vice President Mary Beth Shaughnessy said the week proved the community is no longer just managing risk but architecting resilience. ISC East follows on 3 to 5 November 2026 at the Javits Center in New York.
