Where the ICS/OT Community Comes Together

SANS ICS Security Summit 2026

The ICS Security Summit was founded by Michael J. Assante, alongside SANS Founder Alan Paller, to unite those protecting the technologies that power industry and sustain our modern way of life. What began as a bold idea has become the global gathering place for ICS defenders—a community bound by shared purpose, real-world experience, and a relentless drive to secure critical infrastructure and the essential systems that keep operations running everywhere. Each year, when we come together, we don’t just continue Mike’s legacy—we strengthen it, forging new connections and advancing the mission of safeguarding civilization for generations to come.

What Attendees Say

  • Slide 1 of 4
    Great speakers, great content, and fantastic opportunities to talk with others in the industry about issues we're all facing!
    John Fruge
  • Slide 2 of 4
    Anyone responsible for U.S. ICS Security needs to attend this event every year. It's beneficial because it identifies and educates on current and real threats. The SANS Summit informs and educates at multiple levels—strategic, operational, tactical, etc.
    Bill Peterson
  • Slide 3 of 4
    As my first ICS Summit it truly felt like being at a family reunion with a wonderful family I didn’t know I had — warm, collaborative, and passionate about the same mission. As a remote worker, I made more meaningful connections in that one week than I would have in years otherwise. My first thought upon wrap-up was: Time to start working on funding to get back there in 2026! Truly well done!

    The Summit was fantastic. The accessibility of the speakers before and after the event makes this so much better. This experience is invaluable and cannot be replicated anywhere else. I have every intention of attending next year.
