Where's the Money in Cyber?
Understanding the market, the buyers and the next cybersecurity opportunities
Where are the biggest opportunities in cybersecurity - and what does the market actually need?
At this event we'll explore cybersecurity through the eyes of the organizations buying, building, and implementing security solutions.
Participants will meet people working with cybersecurity from different positions in the ecosystem. We will explore the development of the Danish security tech landscape, hear the CISO perspective on real-world security priorities, and examine the challenges surrounding OT and critical infrastructure.
We will also bring in the startup perspective: What does it take to build a cybersecurity company, understand customer needs, and turn a security problem into a product with a viable market?
This session will give you perspectives from across the cybersecurity ecosystem to help you better understand market needs, commercial opportunities, and the realities facing cybersecurity startups and their customers.
