New featured areas at ISC West 2026
In addition to the robust SIA Education@ISC Program and hundreds of premier exhibiting brands, ISC West will showcase new featured areas such as the Security Experience Center, Startups Area and the Digital Trust and Identity Pavilion.
New to ISC West 2026, the Digital Trust & Identity Featured Area showcases how security is moving beyond perimeter defense to verified, trust-based protection.

Following its successful debut at ISC East 2025, ISC West will also introduce the Startups Area and the Security Experience Center to the Las Vegas show floor. The Startups Area will offer attendees the opportunity to meet emerging companies, engage directly with founders and product teams, and preview next-generation technologies.
