Adara Ventures Cybersecurity Segment @ South Summit

Liz Fleming, Principal, Adara Ventures

Join us on 4th Oct to learn from some of the greatest innovators in Cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity has become an important trend in the world of Venture Capital, with over $12bn invested globally in the last 3 years according to CB Insights. This doesn’t come as a surprise given the ever more severe cyberattacks global corporations are facing, and the commercial opportunity this represents for innovative solution providers.

At Adara Ventures we invest in technology solutions to complex enterprise problems. We’ve been investing in cybersecurity for over 10 years. Recently, we’ve seen some exciting innovations in the cybersecurity space emerge from Spain, notably AlienVault, Devo, Blueliv, 4iQ, VirusTotal, and CounterCraft, among others. The emergence of these players is due in part to the number of large Spanish enterprise clients with extensive international footprints, such as BBVA, Santander, Telefónica that create strong demand for globally competitive cybersecurity solutions.

In collaboration with South Summit, we are bringing together leading entrepreneurs, investors, and enterprises to discuss the most pressing issues and opportunities in the Cybersecurity industry. On 4th October, Adara Ventures will host a Cybersecurity segment at the conference covering areas such as Intelligence in Cybersecurity, Blockchain as a Security Protocol, and Getting security adoption right for the enterprise.

Join us on 4th October 11am-1pm to meet some of the leading Cybersecurity innovators, and learn how businesses are protecting themselves against the onslaught of sophisticated cybercriminals.

Julio Casal, Founder & CTO 4iQ & Founder of AlienVault
