Last week, we hosted an intimate roundtable dinner discussion focused on #CyberSecurity and #SecureTech - two increasingly crucial topics for #founders / exec teams of privately held companies. Just this year alone – Verizon IT to CrowdStrike to AWS disruptions / outages.  It’s NOT just the massive companies though -- small and medium sized companies are less prepared, and easier targets for the bad actors. My big takeaway? Companies of all sizes are feeling the pressure! A big thank you to our dinner guests and to Morgan Kyauk with NightDragon for flying in to share his expertise in this space. All of us walked away with an insightful perspective about how businesses of all sizes can seek to protect themselves. If interested in joining our community of founders and key stakeholders of privately held companies, drop us a note at atxwealthpartners@ubs.com and we’ll be sure to invite you to our next event!   #CyberThreats  #RoundtableDiscussion #BusinessGrowth #BusinessCommunity #PrivatelyHeldCompanies #BusinessProtection #Entrepreneurship

Last night, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a dinner event hosted by #Cyberstarts #Linx and good friends from #Island, which turned into an unforgettable session moderated by Joanna McDaniel Burkey, whose expertise and insights as a previous CISO and current Board member made the evening truly amazing. We delved deep into the significant achievements and future directions of cybersecurity. The conversation highlighted the pivotal role of Cyberstarts a venture capital firm that has become a beacon of success in the cybersecurity world. With its strategic investments in early-stage companies, leading to the creation of 5 unicorns in the past 4 years, Cyberstarts stands at the forefront of addressing complex security challenges. Managing around $660MM with a combined valuation exceeding $30B, their approach emphasizes the critical blend of financial investment and expert mentorship. Linx explained how they are modernizing identity security. Linx’s unique approach, forged by the extensive experience of its founders in cybersecurity and prestigious programs like the Talpiot Program and 8200, is a shining example of the innovation driving the industry forward. Island’s development of the Enterprise Browser was another key focal point of our discussions, showcasing how targeted solutions can meet the nuanced needs of businesses while ensuring paramount security and user experience. This segment, highlighted the transformative potential of such innovations in redefining nextgen workplace technology. The evening, was a masterclass in the significance of leadership, vision, and collaboration in cybersecurity. I left the dinner not only with a deeper understanding of cybersecurity’s current state but also with renewed enthusiasm for its future. It was a powerful reminder of the impact of visionary leadership and innovative thinking in steering the course of cybersecurity towards brighter horizons. #cybersecurity #innovation #leadership #JoannaBurkey #Cyberstarts #Linx #Island Carey Lewis #IAM #Board #startup #vistrada #cisoxc
