DIR Opens 2025 Information Security Forum

Now in its 26^th year, ISF is a free, two-day conference that features various education tracks encompassing 35 breakout sessions, allowing attendees from Texas’ government and public institutions of higher education to curate their own learning experience. The sold-out event showcases an exhibit hall for attendees to explore and demo available security and IT solutions while connecting with each other and over a hundred technology vendors. 

State of Texas Chief Information Officer and DIR Executive Director Amanda Crawford kicked off the event with opening remarks. 

“Cybersecurity is a team sport. I want to thank each of you for the role you play in protecting and defending our state from malicious cyber actors. Together we are stronger.” 

The in-person conference is usually held in spring with registration opening six weeks in advance of the event.
