High-growth start-ups and other SMBs are the target for 43% of all cyber attacks. They can’t, however, spend what larger firms do on Security Operations (SecOps), cyber solutions, and staffers.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to be a cost-efficient way to address the issue.
Executives across mutiple disciplines understand this conceptually; however, the noise around AI in cybersecurity makes for a weapon of mass distraction.
In this CxO Security Forum, industry experts along with published thought leaders and federal agency insiders share immediately actionable insights. The succinct evening agenda will focus on interactive and moderated discussions for c-level executives within start-ups and small businesses.
Overview
Concise presentations will focus on topics that give cyber leaders immediately actionable insights. Moderated discussion will follow each topic with streamlined talking points to maximize audience take-aways.
As a community-first gathering, supporting organizations provide valuable insights for invited participants. General communications will be limited to details requested by participants.
