The BlackBerry Security Summit 2020 will be a virtual event this year due to the covid-19 epidemic and registration is now open. The event will engage business leaders, channel partners and solutions providers to discuss the latest cybersecurity and business continuity challenges, and opportunities facing organisations in today’s hyper-connected world.
Free to attend, the event will feature multiple keynote addresses with BlackBerry executives, product demos and how-to sessions, customer-led case studies, talks from BlackBerry’s Threat Research team as well as additional activities designed to critically engage and deepen attendees’ understanding of the cybersecurity and enterprise technology landscape.
“Moving the BlackBerry Security Summit to a virtual format provides a wealth of new opportunities and a new forum for the cybersecurity community to discover, learn, and engage,” said Mark Wilson, CMO at BlackBerry.
“We look forward to sharing ideas and bringing our audience together to explore key issues and topics with BlackBerry subject matter experts, customers and partners.”
