Secure Illinois 2025

December 3rd | 8:00am - 2:00pm 
College of DuPage, Student Resource Center | 425 Fawell Blvd, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137

Join us for a power-packed day focused on the evolving landscape of security—both physical and cyber.

Kick off the day hearing from Justin Smet, Special Agent for the FBI in Springfield, as he shares his expert perspective on today’s most pressing security challenges.

Then, dive deep into the full lifecycle of Incident Response (IR)—from strategic planning and preparation to real-time detection, alerting, and coordinated remediation. You’ll leave with practical insights on how to build and strengthen your IR program to reduce downtime, limit business impact, and meet regulatory requirements.

Our Physical Security Panel, moderated by Ben Hall, brings together IT leaders and CISOs from across the region—including Jason Snow (DuPage County) and Agnil DSilva (City of Danville)—to explore how IT, facilities, and executive leadership can work together to create a unified security strategy that goes beyond locks and cameras.

Finally, enjoy lunch and networking with leading vendors, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, explore new solutions, and connect with peers.

This is an event you won’t want to miss—whether your focus is cybersecurity, physical security, or building a stronger response strategy for your organization.
