We need your help to assign sessions to appropriately sized rooms! This year we are back to three tracks at the conference for the first time at the Omni! We have three rooms but they are very different sizes, so we need to know what sessions you plan to attend to help determine room assignments!

You can also see speakers for the RVAsec 2023 and the times for specific talks on the schedule page. We are hoping to minimize movement of talks for each day and time, but we will adjust accordingly based on session interest. The sooner you can setup your personal schedule the better.

Thank you!

Ticket Prices for RVAsec 12 Go Up On 5/12!

RVAsec 2023Due to a slight technical issue, tickets for RVAsec were unavailable for purchase prior to the price increase. To provide additional time to correct that mistake, we have decided to extend Regular Ticket prices until May 12, 2023 at 11:59 PM. We are at 75% capacity right now, and once we sell out there will be no more tickets available!

After 5/12, we will then have late registration open for $450 until 5/31

If you are unable to attend due to the price, please contact us to discuss as we do have stipends available for students and also have volunteer opportunities that provide a great way to get in for free!

Once again there will be no tickets sold at the door, and don’t forget that RVAsec has sold out every year–so don’t wait any longer!

Paul Asadoorian To Keynote RVAsec 2023!

This may seem like Déjà vu but a silly pandemic won’t stop us!

We are pleased to announce once again that Paul Asadoorian will be keynoting RVAsec!  Paul is the Founder & CTO of Security Weekly as well as a Principal Security Evangelist at Eclypsium.

Paul spent time “in the trenches” implementing security programs for a lottery company and then a large university. Paul is offensive, having spent several years as a penetration tester. He is the founder of the Security Weekly podcast network, offering freely available shows on the topics of information security and hacking. As Product Evangelist for Tenable Network Security, Paul built a library of materials on the topic of vulnerability management. When not hacking together embedded systems (or just plain hacking them) or coding silly projects in Python, Paul can be found researching his next set of headphones.
