FOUNDERS FORUM
Penetration Testing
Founders and Top vendor technologists
share their point of view
It's often overlooked that at the core of each vendor sits at least one brilliant technologist.
They spend their days contemplating solutions to big problems but with all of the punditry crowding industry discourse we rarely get their perspective.
This forum aims to right that.
Panels are comprised of invited vendor technologists and are hosted by non vendor SMEs.
