Mind Melding for Cyber Professionals
Cyber Brews began in 2018 as a small, informal meetup for cybersecurity professionals—a space to reconnect, share experiences, and build community. What started with just 10 attendees quickly grew into a sought-after gathering, with events now drawing professionals from across government, industry, and the defense ecosystem.
As the community expanded, so did the vision. Founder Karen Williams recognized a deeper need—not just for connection, but for meaningful engagement, practical learning, and collaboration across organizations. Cyber Brews evolved beyond networking into a platform for bringing people, ideas, and opportunities together.
Today, Cyber Brews produces high-impact cybersecurity events, hands-on workshops, and collaborative forums that unite professionals, leaders, and innovators. From curated networking experiences to full-scale training forums, each event is designed to foster real conversations, build lasting relationships, and deliver real-world value.
As a certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Cyber Brews partners with organizations to create experiences that bridge gaps between government and industry, connect talent with opportunity, and strengthen the cybersecurity community as a whole.
