How do you stay ahead of cybercriminals? Hackers cost businesses an estimated $8 trillion (£6.2tn) in 2023, with experts predicting that figure could surge to an eye-watering $24 trillion (£19tn) by 2027.
It's not just about the impact on bank accounts, but also the devastating loss of personal data like family photographs, important documents, messages from loved ones, and other vital files stolen by criminals. Keeping the latest tactics from cybercriminals in the rearview mirror, IT professionals, security experts, CEOs, and technology professionals are ser to descend on Orlando, Florida for a major cybersecurity conference.
Dubbed Zero Trust World, the global conference boasts hands-on training sessions to test attendees' hacking trends, as well as high-profile speakers to learn about how to shield millions from the latest threats.
The conference, which runs February 19-21, promises to reshape the security with these interactive sessions and real-world hacking labs.
It's run by ThreatLocker, the prominent security firm that shields some of the biggest businesses from zero-day attacks. CEO Danny Jenkins said: "Zero Trust World goes beyond traditional tech conferences.
"It’s high-energy, fast-paced, and filled with dynamic sessions and live hacking labs, where you can gain practical training on the spot. Zero Trust is the future of cybersecurity, and Zero Trust World is where you’ll refine your expertise and connect with the game-changers in the cybersecurity industry."
Danny Jenkins’s path to a career in cybersecurity was anything but conventional. His journey began in an unexpected realm — writing malware during his teenage years in the UK.
Today, as CEO and co-founder of ThreatLocker, he is recognised as one of the foremost authorities in cybersecurity. Drawing on his unique background, Danny Jenkins — and the conference he runs — is designed to empower businesses and IT professionals to safeguard themselves against the very threats he once spent hours crafting.

For those who don't know, social engineering attacks exploit human emotions like trust, curiosity, fear, or urgency.
Instead of writing reams of code to bypass security measures, attackers often impersonate trusted figures (e.g., colleagues, tech support) or create a sense of urgency, making victims act without thinking.
