For a first-time attendee like myself, 2024’s ISC West was a sight to see — the sheer size of and passion poured into the expo was impressive. And for long-time veterans, ISC West’s attendance was a source of great excitement and pride. It was reported that over 29,000 security professionals attended — a post-pandemic high. 

Attending events, breakfasts, and presentations, there were a handful of concepts that persisted from one to the next. Some of those were technology-based, like cloud and artificial intelligence (AI). Others were more value-based — like the most consistent concept we heard at the expo — commitment to the channel. Overall, spirits were high at ISC West. In the video above, you can hear comments from a handful of exhibitors and integrators in attendance at this year’s event.
