The time listed is EDT. The event is from 1:00-2:00 PM PST.

True or false:
Is it relevant (or important), to have cybersecurity protocols in place even if you are ‘just’ a start-up?
Can’t it wait until you are cash-flow positive? Why would you want to divert precious resources to cybersecurity before you are fully operational or profitable?

This event will give you a new perspective on this really hot topic! 

What’s often neglected is how cybersecurity is a decision factor for investors.  Increasingly, as security risks proliferate, savvy investors are placing more emphasis on whether companies have taken appropriate measures to protect against this threat.  Whether it is needed as part of your technology implementation as just a check-box or a full security certification or penetration testing, it plays an increasingly relevant role if you are looking to attract investors.

Beyond that fact though, it is also a necessary consideration in the operation of the start-up in our technology laden world.

Come and find out what the investors are thinking and what they consider most relevant!

This is a virtual event.
