Cybersecurity Conferences in California

FAST 2026 brings together researchers and practitioners working on modern file systems and storage technologies, with cybersecurity playing an increasingly important role across the program. As storage platforms have become primary targets for ransomware, data tampering, and large scale breaches, the conference highlights research that directly supports secure, resilient, and trustworthy data systems. Topics such as encrypted storage, secure erasure, auditing, provenance, and privacy preserving designs are tightly aligned with real world cybersecurity challenges.

The conference emphasizes how storage systems act as both attack surfaces and critical recovery layers during cyber incidents. Research presented at FAST 2026 explores techniques for detecting malicious behavior at the storage layer, defending against ransomware through immutable data structures, and enabling reliable recovery through secure snapshots and data lineage. This makes FAST 2026 highly relevant for security engineers, infrastructure leaders, and researchers focused on protecting data at scale.
