What Past Participants are Saying

Rob Cheng

"I have been in cybersecurity for two decades and have traveled the world attending conferences. The South Coast Cyber Summit had the best most pertinent presentations and knowledgeable audience."

Nick Mesenburg

"(Cybersecurity) is a constant and evolving threat . . . but there is also opportunity. We have the opportunity to create that center of excellence, to be that shining star for South Carolina and the nation overall."

Henry McMaster

"I am confident that those who would want to destroy this country, or hurt this country, or achieve some sort of financial or economic advantage are trying to find ways to do just that. Somebody’s got to stop them, and that somebody is in this room.”
