The backbone of Venture Café – come meet the community and make connections with all different kinds of innovators. How will you make your serendipitous moment come true?
Security rarely becomes urgent on a founder's schedule. It often arrives with an enterprise prospect, a vendor questionnaire, an audit, or a board-level question and can quickly become a blocker on revenue.
Join moderator Nicole Hart and panelists Ahrar Naqvi, Eric Galis, and Elijah Cedeno for a practical conversation on building a defensible security baseline that fits your company today and matures as you grow.
What you'll learn
- What "secure enough" looks like at each stage, and how to build it without breaking the bank on tools that do not deliver.
- When do-it-yourself security has reached its limit and outside expertise can help.
- What enterprise buyers and auditors expect, and how to demonstrate readiness without a full-time security team.
- How NIST, CIS Controls, and Zero Trust can help you decide what to address now and what can wait.
Who should attend
Founders, co-founders, CTOs, technical leaders, and anyone responsible for growth at a startup or small to midsize business. No cybersecurity background is required.
