S4x26: Feb 23 – 26, 2026
In Miami South Beach
S4 is …
Optimistic … Forward Looking … Creative … Driving Change
Set free a conservative, slow moving, change resistant community to discover new ideas and come up with innovative ways to use these new ideas to deploy secure, resilient and better ICS. It’s 3-days on 3-stages of sessions for the advanced OT security pro and early adopters. S4 is much more than the sessions. You will be with 1,000+ of the best in world talent. Influencers. Creators. People who are pushing boundaries. And we have a lot of fun with parties and eclectic experiences. All this in a creative environment that is designed to break you out of your normal thought patterns.
The best way to understand how S4 is different is to come to the event. The second best way is to ask someone who has attended, obviously we are biased. S4 is not for everyone. If you are an early adopter, like to be on the leading edge, or enjoy hearing, considering and creating new ideas, then there is a good chance S4 will be a great event for you.

Selecting The ICS Pwn2Own Targets
I worked closely with the Pwn2Own Miami team to provide some advice on selecting targets and introduce them to the people in the community that could help ensure the targets are highly realistic. There are three main criteria that makes a great ICS Pwn2Own target in...
ZDI Brings Pwn2Own To ICS At S4x20
Prizes available up to $25K per exploit and more than $250K available. This has been a hard secret to keep. When I asked the team at Trend Micro’s ZDI in late spring if they would be interested in having an ICS Pwn2Own to be held at S4x20, they had already been...
