2025 Conference Theme – Cybersecurity in today’s world is akin to the enchanted realms of fairy tales, where threats lurk in dark digital forests and heroes wield keyboards instead of swords. Just as these cautionary fables have guided generations, modern stories now light our path through the complex security landscape.
