RVAsec 14 Wrap-Up: A Phenomenal Success for the Cybersecurity Community

Dragnet Team Is Proud To Have Been A Part Of Richmond's Premier Cyber Conference

What an incredible two days at RVAsec 14! The Dragnet team was proud to be part of such a successful event that truly showcased the strength and innovation of the cybersecurity community across the mid-Atlantic region. From June 3-4 at the Richmond Marriott Downtown, hundreds of cybersecurity professionals, industry leaders, and emerging talent came together for an exceptional conference experience.

The energy and enthusiasm at RVAsec 14 were truly remarkable. Our Dragnet team had the privilege of meeting with hundreds of firms throughout the region, engaging in meaningful conversations about the evolving cybersecurity landscape and the critical challenges organizations face today. From small businesses seeking to strengthen their security posture to large enterprises navigating complex compliance requirements, the diversity of attendees highlighted the universal need for robust cybersecurity solutions.

Stacy's Presentation: "The Importance of an Incident Response Plan"

CEO Stacy Aitken delivered her presentation on "The Importance of an Incident Response Plan" to an engaged and knowledgeable audience. The session resonated strongly with attendees, sparking valuable discussions about incident preparedness, response strategies, and the critical role that IRPs play in organizational resilience.

"Speaking at RVAsec 14 was truly energizing," said Stacy Aitken. "The audience was very welcoming and demonstrated a deep understanding of the cybersecurity challenges we all face. It's clear that the Richmond cybersecurity community is not only growing but thriving with professionals who are genuinely committed to protecting their organizations and advancing the field. The conversations I had throughout the conference reinforced why community events like RVAsec are so vital—we learn from each other and grow stronger together."

Stacy's presentation highlighted how organizations of all sizes must move beyond simply hoping incidents won't happen to actively preparing for when they do. The audience's engagement demonstrated that businesses across the region are recognizing this imperative.
