We are looking forward to SO-CON 2026 from April 13 - 18, 2026 in Arlington, VA, USA. SO-CON 2026 features talks, trainings, and networking events focused on identity-based security and Attack Paths. It kicks off the week with a two-day main conference and ends with a selection of four-day adversary tactics and fundamentals training courses. The Call for Presenters (CFP) is open from October 1st to November 15, 2026 at 23:59 ET. We invite submissions for 50-minute sessions (~45 minutes of content and 5 minutes for Q&A) that delve into the complexities of identifying, executing, and protecting against modern attack paths. Some suggested topics we would love to see: Novel research of Attack Paths Usage of BloodHound and OpenGraph Applications of Attack Path Management Identity Provider Attacks and Defenses (Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, etc) Hybrid Attack Paths Federated Identity Attack Paths and solutions for managing attack paths across multiple identity providers Exploring the potential of AI and ML for automating attack path discovery in offensive and defensive applications CI/CD Pipeline Security SaaS Application Identity Models Cookie and Session Theft Techniques Anything else where you've done something interesting with Attack Path Management, but please no product pitches CFP Review Process SO-CON ensures a fair and impartial review process by anonymizing all CFP submissions before they are sent to our CFP Review Board. We carefully remove any identifying information, including names, pronouns, and affiliations, from the title, description, and outline. The CFP Review Board then evaluates the anonymized submissions using a comparative rating system based on the ELO method. This system allows reviewers to objectively assess submissions against one another, considering alignment with the conference theme, content quality, and originality. Based on these ratings, the SO-CON team will curate a dynamic conference agenda that reflects the most compelling and thematically relevant topics that includes contributions from the open CFP, SpecterOps employees, and invited speakers. We will also choose a number of backup proposals in case any speakers have to cancel. Selected speakers will be contacted directly via the Sessionize CFP portal to confirm their participation. CFP Submission Agreements Please be aware that by submitting to the CFP and being accepted, you agree to the following: The submitter(s) will review and adhere to the Code of Conduct. You will show up (in-person) on time and give your presentation at the scheduled time slot. (Except in the event of understandable, unforeseen circumstances.)
