The ICDT Annual Industry Symposium, organized by The Ohio State University's Institute for Cybersecurity and Digital Trust (ICDT), is a premier event dedicated to exploring emerging trends in cybersecurity. The 2023 symposium, held on October 18 at Pomerene Hall in Columbus, Ohio, brought together a diverse group of experts, practitioners, researchers, students, and public and private sector colleagues to discuss the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Key presentations included "The Evolving Risk of Cybersecurity" by Noah Jellison and Emre Koksal, "Cybersecurity in Ohio" by Kirk Herath, and "Software Liability and NIST's Software Un-Standards" by Bryan Choi. Additionally, Helen Patton introduced "The Cybersecurity Canon," and a panel discussion with Ohio Cyber Reserve members provided valuable perspectives on volunteerism in cybersecurity.

Attendees had the opportunity to engage in networking sessions, including coffee and registration in the morning, a lunch keynote by Chris Abrams discussing workforce challenges, and a closing keynote by Rich Nagle, Ohio State's Chief Information Security Officer. These sessions facilitated meaningful connections among participants and speakers.
