5 Questions for 5 Minutes: Flip the script at Innovate Cybersecurity Summit

This October, industry leaders will seek shelter from the Arizona sun (330 days of it each year!) for the premier cybersecurity education and networking event, Innovate Cybersecurity Summit 2023. And true to their name, Innovate mixes up the typical expo format.

A Different Kind of Expo

Described by conference alum Joshua Copeland, AT&T Security Director, as “a partnership between solution providers and solution seekers,” Innovate Scottsdale is pioneering the reverse expo model. In this unique setup – for a portion of Innovate – leaders and CISOs sit at booths and vendors go to them, instead of the other way around. Each vendor gets 5 minutes at the booth, fostering quickfire engagement and offering CISOs wide access to many options across the marketplace. According to Innovate, “these short, focused meetings allow for CISOs to quickly vet out emerging technologies in an efficient manner.” 

On the Forefront of Cloud Security

Speaking of emerging tech, you can expect to hear a lot about data security posture management (DSPM) at Innovate. 

According to Gartner, almost two-thirds (65.9%) of spending on application software will be directed toward cloud technologies in 2025. And earlier this year, Gartner recognized DSPM as a solution to the complexities of cloud security. Yet the lack of real-time monitoring, detection and response capabilities in DSPM has led to further development of a new subset of solutions – Data Detection and Response (DDR). 

Enter Dig – the industry's first and only solution to combine DSPM, data loss prevention (DLP), and real-time DDR capabilities into a single platform.
