“I’m proud to join this year’s Infosec Inspire to take on one of the most fundamental challenges facing our industry: building a culture of security and transparency, and encouraging more people of all backgrounds to get into the field. People are the foundation of every organization, and creating an inclusive culture of security is critical to combat the ever-evolving threat landscape,” said Roland Cloutier, global CSO of ByteDance and TikTok.

The live event will explore the biggest challenges facing the cybersecurity industry today, covering topics from the cyber skills and diversity gap to the business value of security education, CMMC readiness and developing security talent from speakers including:

“From the ever-changing threat landscape to the cyber skills and diversity gap, the cybersecurity industry is facing unparalleled challenges. Infosec Inspire allows the industry to connect, share ideas and drive our industry forward in a time when we need it most. We’re excited to welcome Roland Cloutier alongside many cybersecurity experts, Infosec clients and industry partners who are committed to building a future where following security best practices becomes second nature for everyone, regardless of age, profession or location,” said Jack Koziol, CEO and founder of Infosec. 

In addition to speaking sessions, Infosec Inspire will also host its third annual Infosec Excellence Awards ceremony, recognising this year’s Infosec Accelerate Scholarship recipients, Hall of Fame inductees and Security Awareness Award winners.
