Hosted at the University of Southern Mississippi’s Hattiesburg campus, MCI's next two-day summit will convene industry leaders, government stakeholders, and cybersecurity professionals for a dynamic and impactful experience.

As part of our continued commitment to strengthening cybersecurity practices, the event will feature distinguished speakers from both state and federal cyber/intelligence agencies. A key highlight of the summit will be an in-depth Cyber Tabletop Exercise (CTTX) focused on the maritime sector. This exercise offers IT administrators, cybersecurity professionals, and organizational leaders a hands-on opportunity to engage in realistic simulation scenarios. Participants will gain practical insights into risk mitigation strategies, incident response, and industry best practices directly informed by expert guidance from leading agencies.
