RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., Feb. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On the 22nd of February 2022, experts from the world of network security will come together at Connectivity - the Network Security Summit, to celebrate the hidden heroes of InfoSec.
All too often, cybersecurity professionals remain unseen, protecting our connectivity as we enjoy our daily lives. Connectivity is a global virtual event designed to keep cybersecurity professionals and leaders educated, engaged, and entertained, while recognizing the hard-working individuals working behind the scenes.
The industry conference will feature talks from security experts and a keynote speech from Matthew McConaughey, one of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading men. A chance meeting with casting director and producer Don Phillips led him to director Richard Linklater, who launched the actor’s career in the cult classic “Dazed and Confused.” Since then, he has won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ron Woodruff in "Dallas Buyers Club," appeared in over 40 feature films that have grossed over $1 billion, and has become a producer, director, and philanthropist.
Alongside McConaughey, audiences will also hear from several security superstars including:
Brian Krebs: Brian Krebs is an independent investigative reporter who writes about cybercrime at the award-winning Web site KrebsOnSecurity.com. Krebs is probably best known for breaking stories on high-profile data breaches, including those that hit Target, Home Depot, Michaels, and Ashley Madison.
