About The Event

In the high stakes cybersecurity arena, success isn’t just about fancy firewalls or impenetrable encryption — it’s about mastering the art of juggling proactive policy, tech-enabled solutions, and the people who make it all happen (or have the potential to make it all…not happen). Join IT Brew — alongside industry experts in quantum computing, AI, and cloud security — for tactical advice on how to balance all three.

During this half-day event, we’ll consider the impact emerging technologies are having on the evolving threat landscape, how to maintain the tactical expertise required to keep systems secure, and the keys to leaving reactive policies behind. Hear from cybersecurity practitioners and system administrators on their recommendations for vetting vendors for company-wide solutions, identifying common security vulnerabilities, and, ultimately, how to build a modern cybersecurity policy for your business needs.

IT Brew Opening Remarks


9:05 - 9:25 am ET

What's Keeping George Barnes up at Night?

With the near constant evolution of the digital frontier, the threat landscape evolves just as quickly, leaving cybersecurity professionals and technologists alike in a continuous cycle of leveling up their defenses. Former NSA Deputy Director, George Barnes, knows that better than anyone. Now leading the cybersecurity practice at Red Cell Partners, a DC-based incubator and venture capital firm, Barnes joins IT Brew for a conversation on where his priorities lie in the current threat landscape including cyber vulnerabilities within US infrastructure, election security, how to prepare for quantum to be used as a nation-state hacking tool, how cybercriminals use AI, and ultimately, what's keeping him up at night.


9:25 - 9:50 am ET

The Evolving Threat Landscape

To master cybersecurity in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape, you might as well add “trend expert” to your list of skills. As emerging technologies continue to be leveraged as both threats and tools for secure networks, experts are grappling with how to stay on top of the looming risks from quantum concerns to IoT invasions. During this session, IT Brew will unpack security leaders’ predictions about the future landscape, what tech-enabled strategies are best suited for the current state, and what leaders should keep in mind for the years ahead.
