The Three Rivers Information Security Symposium (TRISS) is an annual, single-day event featuring multiple presentation tracks. It serves as a vital meeting ground for Pittsburgh’s leading IT and security professionals, enabling them to exchange knowledge and foster collaborative partnerships.
This symposium is an entirely volunteer-driven effort, dedicated to raising awareness, encouraging cooperation, and strengthening expertise within the regional information security sector.
TRISS is proudly sponsored and organized by a coalition of influential local organizations, such as:
- RMU’s Top Secret Colonials (TSC)
- Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS)
- Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)
- Infragard Pittsburgh Members Alliance (IPMA)
- Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA)
Furthermore, the symposium shows its commitment to the future of the field by offering a robust education and scholarship program.
The conference attracts key experts and executives from major Pittsburgh institutions, including U.S. Steel, PNC, PPG, Wesco, UPMC, and others. A commitment to quality is upheld through a merit-based speaker selection process, guaranteeing a diverse and unbiased program.
This year, 30 students from RMU were in attendance! The symposium provided them with a truly great learning and networking opportunity, allowing them to immerse themselves in the latest industry trends, cutting-edge research, and practical defense strategies presented by leading security professionals.
TRISS 2025 was a fantastic success, underscoring the vital connection between local industry groups and the next generation of cybersecurity talent. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
