CyberArk, BitSight, Gigavation Join Cybersecurity Lineup on Dec. 5

In the post-Equifax world, companies and individuals are trying to figure out the best way to shore up their tech defenses and keep their data, networks, and devices as safe as possible.

On December 5, Xconomy is gathering a who’s who of cybersecurity leaders from Boston and beyond to discuss emerging threats, new tactics in hacking, and much more. “What’s Hot in Cybersecurity” is taking place at WGBH in Brighton that afternoon. We are planning sessions on war stories, demos and data visualizations, and how-to case studies. If you are interested in keeping up to date on the threat landscape—and keeping your organization secure—you won’t want to miss it.

I’m pleased to announce that leaders from CyberArk, BitSight Technologies, Enveil, and Gigavation are joining the program. Together they span enterprise security, security ratings, encryption tech, device security, and biometrics. And they join an already stellar lineup that includes the CEOs of Threat Stack, Cybereason, Digital Guardian, IBM Resilient, CyberSN, Cygilant, GreatHorn, Zemcar, and Veracode (now part of CA Technologies).

We will have agenda details soon, but in the meantime, here is the speaker list:

  • Juliette Kayyem, CEO, Zemcar; former Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
  • Bob Brennan, Executive Director, CA Technologies
  • Brian Ahern, CEO, Threat Stack
