SECREV (the Cybersecurity Revolution) is an annual event that aims to bring together cybersecurity researchers and professionals from around the globe for a single revolution of the planet.
We strive to provide an open and inclusive platform for sharing research findings, practical insights, and collaborative opportunities. The best part? It’s absolutely free. No registration, no travel costs—just knowledge.
Why SECREV?
Cybersecurity is a complex problem that calls for diverse perspectives across disciplines, geographies, and industries. SECREV bridges the gaps by removing barriers like location, travel costs, or event fees. By focusing on open-access streaming and online interactions, we aim to:
- Increase the capacity of researchers to share their findings online effectively
- Create opportunities for collaboration between cybersecurity groups worldwide
- Provide a near-zero cost event to enable broader participation
The event is entirely volunteer-driven, with presenters and organizers donating their time to enrich the global cybersecurity conversation. We prioritize knowledge-sharing that benefits the public good, rather than commercial or proprietary interests.
Hosted by HC2P
The Cybersecurity Revolution is hosted by the Human-Centric Cybersecurity Partnership (HC2P). HC2P is dedicated to exploring and promoting cybersecurity solutions that prioritize human factors. This approach acknowledges that real cybersecurity solutions must address social, behavioral, and policy considerations, in addition to technical ones.
