This year, on October 13th, the BlackBerry Security Summit 2021 took place — fully virtual. Keynote speakers included a range of BlackBerry organizational leaders across specialties, from Cybersecurity and Threat Detection to Product Management and Engineering. Additionally, the annual conference included other industry thought leaders from many companies, including Google, Deloitte, Electra and Car IQ. Whether you’re a cybersecurity executive, security/IT professional or Internet of Things (IoT) industry leader, this year’s conference had something for everyone.
While it would escape the scope of this brief column to provide a full, comprehensive recap of the 2021 Security Summit, I’ll share two key topics that were explored during sessions. These sessions are critical for the cybersecurity world of today and, perhaps more importantly, tomorrow.
