WHAT IS THE CYBER INVESTING SUMMIT?
Now in its fourth year, the Cyber Investing Summit is an all-day conference focused on the investment opportunities and strategies in the rapidly growing cybersecurity industry. The Summit differs from traditional product centered conferences by highlighting the financial side of the sector.
Attendees include Chief Information Security Officers, financial analysts, venture capitalists, private equity managers, institutional and retail investors, government experts, publicly traded firms, privately held companies, startups, and more.
Invitation-only roundtables will be held during the day for leading Technology Analysts, VC/PE/IBs, and CISOs to connect with their peers and discuss trends, challenges, and forecasts for the industry.
Join key decision makers, investors, and innovative cybersecurity companies to network, learn, raise brand awareness, and develop new partnerships.
