Sponsored by <a href="https://titaniam.io" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Titaniam</a>, the Champion in Security Awards were founded to honor security leaders who embody certain values that make the security community and profession better for current and future practitioners. These awards seek to foster values that go far beyond the practice of security techniques and focus instead on the humans that power this critical discipline and without whom we would not have the strength to stand up to cybercriminals.Opening Keynote: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sylviaacevedo/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sylvia Acevedo</a>, Board of Directors, Qualcomm, Frmr CEO, Girl Scouts of America, Author, SpeakerChampions in Security Awards Keynote: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/katekuehn/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kate Kuehn</a>, Chief Trust Officer, AonAwards Ceremony - Champion in Security Awards for Respect, Inclusion, Innovation, Collaboration, Community, and Future Generation.

These individuals actively solicit individuals from diverse as well as underrepresented groups and provide training to overcome barriers to equitable progress.
