Cyber Week Scheduled

Atlanta is prepared to shoe the world how it's thriving as the eminent cyber security hub.

Baker Donelson and the Metro Atlanta Chamber have organized the inaugural Atlanta Cyber Week, a public-private collaboration Oct. 2 to 6 to highlight the region’s cyber-security ecosystem and to connect growth-oriented cyber-security companies with Fortune 1000 companies.

Cybercon, whose keynote speaker is Nadav Zafrir, the co-founder and CEO of Team8, Israel’s leading cyber-security think tank and venture creation foundry, and the National Technology Security Coalition’s CISO Policy Conference are anchoring Atlanta Cyber Week, whose sponsors include Conexx.

Zafrir founded the Israel Defense Forces’ Cyber Command and commanded Unit 8200, an elite cyber-security unit.

“I am extremely proud of how Atlanta’s corporate, economic development, tech and security communities have rallied in support of Atlanta Cyber Week,” said Justin Daniels, a Baker Donelson shareholder who is leading Atlanta Cyber Week. “Atlanta is prepared to show the world that our city has the talent and infrastructure to thrive as the world’s pre-eminent cyber-security hub.”
