Cybersecurity For The Connected Enterprise

Led by Intelligence Analysts Nick Pappageorge and William Altman

Cybersecurity has been top of mind with recent attacks on Equifax, but sophisticated hackers have long been targeting US-based utility grids, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices have proved vulnerable since the high-profile Mirai botnet attack in late 2016.

Fortunately, a cybersecurity startup ecosystem is blossoming in response. This briefing examines cybersecurity startups in the enterprise and heavy industry, covering the following:

Background on cybersecurity methods, high-profile incidents
How enterprises are applying cybersecurity to their verticals
Where SCADA and Industrial Control Systems are beefing up security
General investment trends in IoT cybersecurity
A look at up-and-coming startups in IoT cybersecurity, and unique players worth keeping an eye on
