Participants included more than 200 of the leading cyber professionals, technology analysts, venture capitalists, fund managers, investment advisors, government experts, and more. "In this age of rampant cybercrime, identity theft and hardware hacking, it's time for government agencies, businesses and individuals to find ways to come together and reate innovative partnerships to help secure digital data as a crucial top priority," said Hirschler. "It has been an honor to be asked to present at this vitally important conference and as part of the partnering topic alongside such knowledgeable and insightful co-panelists." During the discussion, Hirschler shared some of ERI's own recent partnership success stories including innovative work co-creating the ecycleNYC residential e-waste collection program as part of an alliance with the City of New York and participating electronics manufacturers. He also discussed ERI's successful partnership with Staples (News - Alert) helping provide data destruction services to its B2B clients.

"We decided to provide a panel discussion this year in exactly that, and having leading players like ERI, Artemis and the City of New York's Economic Development Corporation discussing cyber security and innovative partnerships made sense."
