Computer innovation moves fast, but without proper protection, groundbreaking ideas can be exploited—sometimes even weaponized against the very systems they aim to secure. As cyber threats evolve, so does the demand for cutting-edge cybersecurity innovations. However, protecting these advancements through patents can be a complex and often overlooked process.

 This session will guide cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and innovators through identifying potentially patentable ideas and understanding the key steps in the patent process. Attendees will learn  best practices they have discovered from a cybersecurity expert, with 88 granted US patents and a well known cybersecurity evangelist.

 Learning Objectives
