NEW YORK, March 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Data Connectors, representing the largest cybersecurity community in North America, continues its industry-leading series of Virtual Summits, arriving in the New York Metropolitan Area this week.
Headlining the New York City Virtual Cybersecurity Summit this Wednesday, March 24 is a preeminent expert on the Communist Party’s global strategy, Dr. Jonathan Ward. The author of “China’s Vision of Victory,” and recurring guest on various news programs including on Fox, Bloomberg, CNBC, MSNBC. Ward will be joining the summit for a live interactive question-and-answer session.
“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a global vision that cybersecurity professionals must understand, especially those who work to defend strategic industries and the vital technologies of the future. The CCP plays by its own set of rules and understanding the bigger picture can help prepare today’s cyber leaders and professionals for the most important challenge they may face in a rapidly changing security environment,” Ward said.
The Summit will also feature industry expert presenters and virtual exhibits from cybersecurity solution providers, as well as live, topical expert panel discussions fielded by leading subject-matter experts. At the Summit, industry experts will dive into topics around the SolarWinds hack, the future of cybersecurity, and user-centered security, and the key trends on which Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) should most concern themselves in 2021 in panel discussions.
