NY Tech Week: State of Cybersecurity and GTM with Microsoft, TD SYNNEX, GTM Buddy and more!
Cybersecurity is no longer only a technical discipline. It has become a board-level growth driver that shapes how companies build products, enter markets, and earn the trust of enterprise customers.
As part of NYC Tech Week 2026, this curated evening convenes leaders from across the cybersecurity and cloud ecosystem to examine how security innovation is reaching the market and scaling through modern go-to-market models.
Hosted by Partner1, the session will feature leaders from Microsoft, GTM Buddy, TD SYNNEX and cybersecurity innovators who are redefining how security companies build, position, and scale their offerings in an increasingly complex digital environment.
The conversation will explore three intersecting forces shaping the next era of cybersecurity companies:
1. The evolving threat and technology landscape
From AI-driven attacks to rapidly expanding enterprise attack surfaces, security leaders must constantly adapt. Speakers will discuss the macro trends reshaping the security ecosystem and the role of cloud platforms and AI in defending modern enterprises.
2. Go-to-market in the age of ecosystems
For startups and scaleups alike, winning in cybersecurity increasingly depends on ecosystem strategy. The discussion will examine how companies leverage hyperscaler marketplaces, co-sell programs, and strategic partnerships to reach enterprise buyers faster and build credibility in crowded markets.
3. Scaling cybersecurity companies from startup to global impact
What does it take for an early-stage cybersecurity company to break through? Founders and ecosystem leaders will share practical lessons on positioning, enterprise sales motions, and navigating the complex buying dynamics of security leaders, CISOs, and procurement teams.
Designed for founders, investors, and enterprise leaders, this evening will provide practical insight into how cybersecurity companies are building trust, accelerating distribution, and turning innovation into measurable business impact.
Participants can expect a candid discussion on how cybersecurity and go-to-market strategy intersect today, along with concrete takeaways for companies looking to scale security solutions globally.
Spots are limited. RSVP now to join cybersecurity founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders exploring how security innovation reaches the enterprise through modern GTM and strategic partnerships.
