Cybersecurity Conferences Seen as New Profit-Making Schemes

The author expresses their feeling that cybersecurity conferences (Cyber Cons) seem to be increasingly numerous and expensive, often with high entrance fees, such as $200 for general admission. These conferences frequently feature the same speakers discussing topics that are available online, including trends in artificial intelligence (AI). The author notes that the field of cybersecurity has become more mainstream, unlike the past when it was primarily about hacking and self-learning.
