Startups thrive on speed, but that same speed makes them prime targets. Attackers know early-stage companies are often under-defended, while enterprise buyers and investors now expect rigorous cybersecurity due diligence before signing contracts or writing checks.

This session is aimed at CTOs and CISOs in high-growth startups. It traces the path from ideation to IPO, showing how security maturity must evolve alongside business growth. Attendees will learn:

The top cyber risks that disproportionately hit startups.

The security checkpoints that customers and investors require at each funding stage.

How to turn cybersecurity from a compliance burden into a sales accelerator and valuation booster.

Grounded in real breaches, hard data, and pragmatic roadmaps, this talk reframes security as the difference between scaling successfully—or stalling at “Series B(reach).”
