The CISOs are always looking for new technologies to help protect against today's increasing threats. The CISO panel included: "We wanted to create an event where we asked the vendors to brng their CTO or CEO (no sales) to a focused audience (CISOs) to really explain what they had to offer and how it solves big problems. We also wanted to give a chance for CISOs to turn the tables and throw out lots of questions at vendors to see how they held up. I think both vendors and CISOs came away with more knowledge and also had some fun with it," said David Hahn, Hearst's CISO and the event moderator. LCRA's CSO, Larry Whiteside Jr., added: "It is a crowded field of security vendors and as CISOs responsible for protecting our enterprises it is critical that we can cut through the noise to hear about the latest security technologies. Security Current's High Stakes competition did just that -- got cutting edge vendors in front of us. I congratulate SentinelOne for rising to the top of those vendors." The judges scored the vendors on:
"Security Current's High Stakes competition at RSA allowed nearly two dozen CISOs to get insight into new and up-and-coming companies. The competition covered endpoint, network, and education vendors. Quite honestly, they all had a compelling product and it made it hard to choose. However, SentinelOne stood out the most and clearly has something special in the endpoint protection space," said Mike Saurbaugh, who leads security at Corning Credit Union.
