Slow Security 2026
Tue, Apr 28 · 9:00 PM · Spring Place, 6 St Johns Ln, New York, NY 10013, USA · View on Luma ↗
The $1.5T cybersecurity market cap was built on the assumption of visibility and control: how to secure within a perimeter, how to vet vendors, and how to remediate gaps or accept known risks. That known landscape is gone with AI.
Join Slow and security industry leaders for an evening discussing the changing threat landscape and how new and existing security companies will meet that.

5pm: Doors open
