Boston, February 22, 2024 : Siemba was privileged to serve as a sponsor at the prestigious GDS Security Summit, which took place at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston on February 21st and 22nd.
The GDS Security Summit is a premier cyber security event, featuring tailored networking opportunities, interactive panel discussions, insightful security keynotes, and sponsored exhibitions. This event attracted more than 70 C-level executives and senior leaders, providing a platform for the exchange of ideas and exploration of emerging cybersecurity challenges and solutions.
Siemba's innovative and comprehensive Funnel Offensive Security approach, which propels Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), captured the interest of numerous attendees. Similarly, the platform's Generative AI-driven Autonomous PenTesting capability also garnered significant attention.
"CTOs and CISOs often face challenges in obtaining a comprehensive view of threat detection and validation activities throughout their organizations. This difficulty is amplified when dealing with multiple business units, each with its critical assets, and diverse team members tasked with issue remediation," stated Sandhya Prashanth, Chief Security Officer at Siemba. "The goal extends beyond merely speeding up the testing process via Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) and AI driven Autonomous PenTesting. It's about ensuring adequate visibility of the attack surface and threat landscape at the necessary levels to effectively mitigate risks, minimize exposure, and uphold compliance."
The event featured distinguished keynote speakers, such as Jerich Beason, the CISO at Waste Management, and Katie Arrington, the former Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for the U.S. Department of Defense. The presentations and panel discussions spanned various topics, including the emergence of AI in cybersecurity, the importance of secure browsing, and strategies for nurturing a neurodivergent workforce in the cybersecurity sector.
