We’ve heard time and again that if cyberattacks were a country, it would rank as the world’s third-largest economy. There’s a reason for this. According to a report by Cybersecurity Ventures, global cybercrime costs are projected to reach a staggering $10.5 trillion by 2025.

Given the pace at which cybercriminals are evolving their attack tactics—whether through Phishing, Vishing, Smishing, or various forms of Ransomware, Scareware, or Leakware—Gartner anticipates that worldwide end-user spending on security and risk management will amount to $215 billion in 2024.

SchellmanCON, organized by Schellman, a Top 50 CPA Firm, has curated an exceptional lineup of speakers, featuring prominent information security leaders from the industry. Hear from distinguished individuals like Microsoft Principal Compliance Program Manager Nidhi Sanghavi, CISA, PMP, and Schellman Chief Knowledge Officer Ryan Buckner, and bolster your cybersecurity efforts with invaluable insights.
