Massachusetts is already a hub for cutting-edge technology, research, and venture capital. And much of that brainpower and investment is focused squarely on the business of cybersecurity. But as other regions around the country invest more in security-focused incubators, research centers, start-ups, and actively court new businesses, how can Massachusetts maintain – and grow – its place in the information security ecosystem? Will it be able to attract the most talented researchers, entrepreneurs, and give rise to the next generation of great infosec pioneers?

Passcode will moderate a panel exploring Massachusetts' place amid a nationwide race to build the Silicon Valley for cybersecurity. We'll explore new initiatives at local universities, within the business sector, and at the state level to enshrine its position at the leading edge of security innovation.
