ProtectWise CTO to Speak at Cyber Forward DC 2016

ProtectWise, provider of the enterprise security platform that delivers pervasive visibility, deep analytics and an advanced user experience on demand, today announced that CTO and Co-founder Gene Stevens will speak at Cyber Forward DC 2016 at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 10.

Cyber Forward DC is a one day event featuring leading technology experts, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs who will discuss the current surge in new startups and the driving factors that play into investor decisions as part of a broader conversation around the future of cybersecurity. The event is aimed at business and government executives responsible for cybersecurity strategy planning, execution or governance responsibilities and policymakers.

Stevens' session will discuss some of the latest challenges impacting security as the analyst talent is increasingly in short supply. He will also cover how a radical focus on data presentation and interaction can unlock the full potential of teams and prepare new analysts for the job. Attendees will learn tips and best practices for maximizing productivity through the use of tools and platforms designed to capitalize on security professionals' natural intuition and reasoning abilities.

"Cloud-based cybersecurity solutions have become increasingly advantageous for organizations in need of a radically scalable and flexible way to protect valuable company assets," said Stevens. "More importantly, we must work together to fundamentally change security environments to better leverage human intuition. By providing easy access to actionable, silo-free data through rich visual interfaces designed to maximize discovery and unlock analysts' spacial reasoning abilities, we can enable their natural problem solving skills and improve productivity."
