C2DS: Data to Decision 2026
About the Security Event
C2DS: Data to Decision 2026 is a specialized cybersecurity and defense summit focused on turning data into actionable decisions in contested and operationally constrained environments. Hosted at SOFWERX in Tampa, Florida, from February 24 to February 26, the event centers on practical applications of AI for cyber defense, secure communications, operational resilience, and decision-making under pressure. The program is designed for active duty military, mission-aligned industry professionals, and technical leaders who are engaged in real-world defense and cybersecurity challenges.
Participants can expect hands-on labs, real use cases, and direct engagement with practitioners that illustrate the operationalization of advanced technologies from the cloud to the edge. Topics typically include cyber defense informed by offensive tactics, zero trust networking, identity defined security, and secure data in motion, and qualifying sessions may offer continuing education credits.
