Panel 3: The Business Case for Security
Date
2-9-2016
Abstract
How can startups determine the importance of security to their bottom line? Building security in up front may help startups avoid significant costs: Venture capital investors may emphasize security in funding decisions; customers may demand contractual security requirements; potential acquirers may evaluate a startup’s security posture; and startups may incur fatal damage to reputation and monetary costs from a security incident. This panel will discuss the importance of security from the investor, customer, and potential acquirer standpoints.
