December – Neil Daswani

December 15, 2019 By Technology Director

Topic: The Biggest Breaches And What They Mean For The Future Of Cybersecurity Investment

This talk covers the key lessons learned and root causes from the biggest mega-breaches over the past several years, and analyzes their correlation to the over $45 billion invested in cybersecurity thus far. Based on hard data of over 4,000 cybersecurity companies that have been funded thus far, and what they have focused on to-date, some hypotheses on where future investment is required will be presented. Whether you’re interested in how your current company is positioned for the future of cybersecurity, considering a job change, or even potentially starting a cybersecurity company yourself, this talk will arm you with the information that you need about the security landscape, both on the business and technology fronts. Future trends in cybersecurity will also be discussed.
