F.A.Q.
What is the Oregon Cyber Resilience Summit?
The Oregon Cyber Resilience Summit (OCRS) was first introduced in 2018 and every Summit aligns its content under the umbrella of a common theme that brings together attendees, speakers, and sponsors. Multiple industries and sectors are represented, including federal, state, and local governments, information technology (IT) partners and vendors, K-12, and higher education (both employees and students), financial, and power and electric — a true community convergence!
Cyber threats represent some of the most significant challenges to our national security, economic system, and way of life. Cyber risks affect all sectors: critical infrastructure, power and energy, banking, higher education, and many more. The interconnectedness and interdependence among all sectors of our community cause cyber incidents in one area to affect the whole community. Consequently, it is paramount that we work together to defend our cyber “things.”
Every year, we build on the success of previous OCRS events by continuing to embrace the “whole community” approach, bringing together the private and public sectors, owners and operators, cybersecurity experts, students, and community members to network and train together to defend our infrastructure from cyber threats.
Who Attends the Summit?
Over the years, people from multiple industries and sectors have participated in OCRS, including federal, state, and local governments, information technology (IT) partners and vendors, K-12, and higher education (both employees and students), financial, and power and electric — a true community convergence!

Summit Social Reception Sponsor (one spot)
The Summit Social Reception sponsorship can work in one of two ways:
- Method 1 – A single vendor can fund the sponsorship. As a single vendor sponsor, you will receive the benefits of a Gold Level sponsorship, and, in addition, have an opportunity to network with attendees directly in a more social setting in small groups and one on one.
- Method 2 – Several Summit sponsors can expand their current level of support. In this mode, up to three vendors can come together to sponsor the Summit Social Reception, in addition to their single vendor sponsorship. Sponsoring the Summit Social Reception provides an additional opportunity to network with attendees directly in a more social setting in small groups and one on one.
Oregon Cybersecurity Challenge Cup
This is a unique opportunity to sponsor the Oregon Cybersecurity Challenge Cup. The objective of the Oregon Cybersecurity Challenge Cup is to provide hands-on learning and networking opportunities for higher education institutions, high schools, and other industries in Oregon, while sharpening the cybersecurity skills of the competitors. Teams compete in multiple levels of capture the flag events, with the championship event taking place before the Summit. Scholarships and other prizes will be awarded to the top team(s).
