WaveStrong and IBM Host PA Security Leaders Round Table – Driving Collaboration in Cybersecurity

WaveStrong, in collaboration with IBM, proudly hosted the PA Security Leaders Round Table, part of the nationwide Security (Leaders) Round Table (SecRT) initiative. This important gathering brought together senior cybersecurity leaders across industries to foster genuine dialogue, collaboration, and community-driven advancement in cybersecurity.

What is the Security Leaders Round Table?

Founded in 2019 by nationally recognized cybersecurity ambassador Michael Melore, the Security (Leaders) Round Table (SecRT) is a grassroots initiative offering free, non-sales-driven discussions among cybersecurity executives nationwide. With over 1,900 members across 28 chapters, SecRT creates a trusted space where leaders collaborate on challenges, share insights, and strengthen security practices without vendor pitches or commercial agendas.

The PA Security Leaders Round Table continues this tradition, delivering a platform for information exchange tailored to security executives across critical infrastructure, healthcare, education, government, and commercial sectors.
