Keep showing up CyberAlliance! It was an honor to represent CA in SA and to be joined by a CA team member on his 1st journey to SA. Yes, I was saying something funny, however, this smile was one of 1000 on this trip! Key takeaways from this dialogue: 1. High risk doesn't mean High cost to remediate cyber vulnerabilities! 2. Don't let your people, policies, processes, and technologies be the weak link in a connected value chain! 3. If you've secured the front door to your business, have you secured your side and back doors and windows into your business? 4. You're never too small to be breached! 5. It's more cost effective to integrate cyber security and data privacy considerations early in the entrepreneurial journey than once have finalized product/service development or you start servicing customers. 6. It's not if you're breached, it's when your breached do you have the cyber resiliency to stay in businesses! Kendrall Felder Henri Ward

It's been nearly two months since I was laid off from TechCrunch. A lot has happened! I connected with a lot of old friends, made new friends, had a lengthy hospital stay, and found some new projects. I'm thrilled to announce one of the new projects: The Resilience Conference. https://lnkd.in/g-hQJrgD I teamed up with an all-time great TechCruncher, Leslie Hitchcock, to put on this conference aimed at the defense and security sector, specifically in Europe. The world is teetering on a knife's edge, and global conflict is stressing the need for innovation that pushes traditional security and defense into the now. As always, startups are leading this shift, but there's a sizable disconnect between EU defense industries and startups. The Resilience Conference is the only innovation conference focussed on resilience, defense, and security, bringing together startups and investors with academia, government, and the military. I want to stress this is not a defense or arms conference; this is a startup conference in the same vein as TechCrunch Disrupt. This event will take place this fall at a historic venue in London. There's so much more I wish I could share, but due to the nature of the participants, I have to keep some highlights for private conversations. Want to get involved? We're looking for exhibitors, sponsors, and just a couple more speakers. Hit me up on LinkedIn, and let's talk.

Recently I listened to a Joe Rogan podcast where he had invited Jeremie and Edouard Harris who set up Gladstone AI, an organization dedicated to promoting the responsible development and adoption of AI. The 2 and half hour conversation touches on many different aspects of AI from the mass drive to build huge powerful data centres to power the increasing need for larger data sets for AI, to the supply chain of microchips, to the governance around data and use of AI on a national and supranational, to the cybersecurity implications, and most importantly the fascinating cross roads we all find ourselves at in 2024 in how to navigate this powerful technology that will change all our lives. This years Tech Week Singapore is poised to be one of the most important events so far in our history, as we will be covering this whole conversation at Marina Bay Sands on 9th and 10th October 2024. Data Centre World Asia is now probably the biggest DC event in the world (270+ DC vendors) and at the forefront of all the physical aspects of building this AI revolution. Cloud Expo Asia and Big Data & AI World Asia are at the front of this conversation with some of the biggest names in Tech (Nvidia, Dell, Google, OpenAi, Huawei, and more tba) discussing the opportunities to power and harness game changing technologies like AI. For any technology to work and function properly a robust #cybersecurity posture with clear processes and governance in place is paramount, and the co-located Cyber Security World Asia is perfect for those who want to learn, share, and understand the innovations on the market.
