This is not simply another cybersecurity conference. It is a rare convergence of research, corporate practice, and higher education at a time when the threat of insider risk has never been more prevalent or more complex.

Why This Matters Now

Fordham’s Insider Risk Conference provides attendees with direct access to the individuals building the frameworks, tools, and countermeasures used to meet these threats. It features Eric Shaw, PhD, who has spent more than two decades shaping how government and industry understand insider risk. As the architect of the Critical Pathway to Insider Risk® model—the framework referenced throughout the DoD, the intelligence community, and private industry—his work has become the foundation for how organizations identify and intervene before an insider threat becomes an insider incident.

We invite you to join us in this unprecedented collaboration between academia and industry.
