The Javits Center in NYC opened its doors to hundreds of security experts from all around the world on November 15th and 16th, 2022. Over those two info-packed days, attendees participated in panels and presentations and shared their knowledge about enterprise security. Here are just some of the highlights from CyberTech NYC 2022
The Larger the Organization, the More Turtles to Corral
Early in the conference, CyberTech Co-Founder Amir Rapaport shared a very good analogy for how large enterprises have transformed, corralling turtles.
Turtles move slowly, akin to how fast we adopt new tech or modify existing systems. If you only have a few turtles, keeping up with them and making sure they are safe is pretty straightforward. But when you add more and more turtles, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage them. When you get to hundreds or thousands of turtles, or IT services, manually chasing them and keeping them safe becomes overwhelming.
Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet to this problem of herding turtles; it just takes staying vigilant and aware of newly emerging threats. This introductory session set the tone of the event, and his message of staying on top of new trends was echoed throughout the rest of CyberTech.
