Panel Discussions

Panel 1: Upskilling Teams - Sponsored by Expedient

As the great resignation saw employees leave their careers at record pace, roles in cybersecurity remain unfilled. This panel will discuss the how organizations are working to solve this crisis and to ensure that we increase staffing to meet the needs to an ever-increasing threat landscape.

Panel 2: Cybersecurity as a Business Enabler - Sponsored by GrayMatter

A few years back at Cyburgh, we talked about cybersecurity as a business case. Over the past two years, it’s evident that cybersecurity is now a business enabler and an essential component to the ever-increasing digital world. This panel will delve into how the role of CISO has evolved and how these leaders are enabling their own organizations to remain vigilant.

Panel 3: Preparing for the Next Major Event: Securing Digital Infrastructure - Sponsored by Blue Bastion

Cyber threats are all around us. From nation-states to bad actors looking for a quick payoff, it’s inevitable that cyber-attacks will affect everyone. What happens when the next major crisis happens? This panel will discuss how stakeholders are working together to avoid and react to infrastructure attacks, the next international crisis, and supply chain interference.

Technical Discussions

Cyburgh will feature presentations throughout the day on the most important topics in cybersecurity.
