Bob Ackerman is the Founder & Managing Director at AllegisCyber Capital, one of the leading cyber investment firms.
25 years of BlackHat gatherings and related research. 20+ years of venture capital, investments, and mergers & acquisitions dedicated to CyberSecurity. That's a lot of time and presumably a lot of effort and money. So...where do we find ourselves on the road to better cyber defenses?Our guest for this episode is Bob Ackerman. Bob started AllegisCyber nearly 20 years ago with the vision to be the first venture firm to focus 100% on cyber security investing. We are experiencing a third downmarket where Bob has been as a dedicated cyber VC—a distinction shared by a select few—and he has helped hundreds of startups navigate these cycles. The geopolitical landscape, threats to civilian critical infrastructure, and heightened government involvement collectively make this market even more different, uncertain, and riddled with risk for the startups and investors new to the cyber domain. A lot has happened. But a lot has stayed the same as well. Let's explore this a bit during this chat as part of our Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 coverage.Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________GuestBob AckermanManaging Director & Founder - AllegisCyber Capital [@AllegisCyber]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-ackerman-a233336/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/BobAckerman____________________________This Episode's SponsorsCrowdSec | https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vpEdgescan | https://itspm.ag/itspegwebPentera | https://itspm.ag/pentera-tyuw____________________________ResourcesForbes Article - New SEC Cybersecurity Reporting Requirements: What Companies Should Know About Regulations: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2022/07/08/new-sec-cybersecurity-reporting-requirements-what-companies-should-know-about-regulationsForbes Article - New SEC Cybersecurity Reporting Requirements: Three Things Companies Need To Do Now: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2022/05/25/new-sec-cybersecurity-reporting-requirements-three-things-companies-need-to-do-now____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?
