CEDIA Expo 2025: Turn Cybersecurity Liability into Predictable RMR for Integrators

Like you, I’m a card carrying CE Pro subscriber. My Monday morning ritual is coffee in one hand, phone in the other, skimming headlines before the day kicks in. When Farr Shepherd’s session landed front and center in “Making the Most of the Educational Sessions at CEDIA Expo 2025” (check it out), I realized I wasn’t the only one preaching about the importance of cybersecurity for integrators. CE Pro’s editorial team only highlights sessions that deliver real value, and this is one you can’t afford to skip.
