#Cybersecurity is no longer optional - it's essential for driving the digital progress of our world. 🚀 At the #18ENISE roundtable, "The Future of Cybersecurity: What Investors Are Looking For", Carlos Moreira da Silva had the privilege of joining Alicia Hanf, Cristobal Alonso from Startup Wise Guys, and Damien Henault from Forgepoint Capital. Highlighting a few shared ideas: 🔒 Cybersecurity is critical Cybercrime and fraud are rapidly evolving with new technologies as bad actors are quick to exploit these powerful tools. 📈 Growth potential With cybercrime costs measured in trillions and the cybersecurity market still in the billions, the gap is evident - and so is the room for growth. Additionally, current geopolitical tensions, further highlight the growing need for robust cybersecurity measures. 💼 Regulation driving investment Regulatory changes are already shaping investment strategies. Regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act and DORA are introducing stricter requirements. (The investment round 33N Ventures led recently at Exein is an example of this) 💡 Emerging technologies reshaping cybersecurity Artificial intelligence is already transforming the cybersecurity landscape - and we cannot afford to overlook its impact, particularly on the darker side of cyber threats. Quantum computing, while likely a decade away, will also revolutionize encryption and data security. Organizations handling long-term sensitive data must start preparing for its effects now. Advice for cybersecurity startups: 🏆 Be unique and offer transformative solutions. Don’t just be slightly better - be truly innovative and AI-proof. 🌐 Have a clear global market strategy and communicate effectively to international audiences. 🥌 Prove your capabilities in the most demanding markets early on. Efficiency is key. 💰 Seek support from specialized investors, like those on this panel!

Having the 33N Ventures team in our event has been an absolute honor and pleasure. The insights that Carlos Moreira da Silva shared during that panel, and all the meetings and connections made at ENISE on your side had added tons of value to the Spanish ecosystem. I'm looking forward to have you here again for #19ENISE
Excellent insights. Thank you for mentioning the importance of being truly innovative. Status quo security measures simply cannot cope with the current and emerging threats. Every business must future-proof their data and identity protection in this interconnected environment.
