Digital Fight CLub is now a TV show! Join us for the live filming of Episode 1 – Digital Fight Club: Cybersecurity 2024 back at the birthplace of DFC — the historic Granada Theater.Â
Corporate CIOs and CISOs from around the country gave us challenging cybersecurity issues and we’re having top VAR/MSSP execs duke it out on stage in a raucous debate with an audience of cyber pros voting for a winner.
Tired of hearing the same ‘ol same ‘ol at cybersecurity conferences? Tired of being kissed up to or not being able to speak your mind in a proposal?
So are we.
- Fight 1: Critical Infrastructure
- Fight 2: Media, Hollywood & Cybersecurity
- Fight 3: Securing AI in an Organization
Only 40 CISOs, 40 VARs/MSSPs, 10 Vendors and their teams may attend. Everyone gets to vote for the winners. No pressure.
Mayhem, indeed!
