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?
As companies grow, security often gets pushed to the back burner, especially for small and midsize businesses without a dedicated security function. In this fireside chat, Ahrar Naqvi and Eric Galis, CISO at Sun Gauge and a cybersecurity practitioner with deep boardroom experience, will unpack what they are seeing across the industry and where growing companies are most exposed. They will talk through the shift from a do-it-yourself approach to a more mature security posture, what enterprise clients expect when they ask you to prove your security practices during an audit, and how frameworks like NIST, Zero Trust, and the Center for Internet Security can guide that transition. This is an introductory event as part of the IT Leadership group and the start of a broader cybersecurity community for small and midsize companies across New England. It is free to join and open to anyone who wants a clearer picture of their own security gaps and practical next steps to close them.
