Today\, as technology rapidly expands into areas like AI\, space\, and critical infrastructure\, those foundations are being extended to new frontiers.  \nGreyCon 2026 marks this anniversary by featuring our own Capitol Tech thought leaders as they share a forward-looking exploration of how cybersecurity will continue to evolve to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex\, connected world. \nBackgrounderCapitol Tech established GreyCon to highlight the undiscovered\, or “grey area\,” where technology intersects and impacts all fields of study. The “Grey” refers to those in between unexplored spaces where major tech fields overlap rather than to a person or place.   \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook
