What People Are Saying

Today, more than ever, it is imperative for business leadership to understand the risk that cyber threats present to the business and how cybersecurity can mitigate the risk effectively. Knowledge and awareness are the critical investments great leaders can make to provide the best financial, security and business decisions for their organization. The Tribal Cybersecurity Summit will provide every Leader with insightful and valuable knowledge which will allow you to ask proper questions, invest in key areas and understand the risks presented by your technologists.

Lee Edberg
Director of Cybersecurity
SMSC Gaming Enterprise

Cybersecurity is an organizational responsibility, not an IT initiative. Ensuring there is broad exposure to the threat landscape at all levels in an organization is key, especially at the senior level, as support of the investment required to protect the organization is imperative. At the Tribal Cybersecurity Summit, you will gain a deeper understanding of current trends/challenges that tribes are facing collectively and hear from experts in the field as well as some of your peers on strategies to fend off the bad guys. We are stronger together!
