For the first time in PocketFullOfApps history this year we’re switching things up and heading to the Ai4 Cybersecurity Conference that’s taking place in one of my favorite cities of all time, New York City. Typically our conference coverage typically includes something in the realm of mobile gaming or Apple-related content, however, over the last couple years general technology news had been added into the mix in response to readership changes.

Seen as how the Ai4 Cybersecurity Conference is going to be a combination of cybersecurity and AI, this comes at no better time due to the recent flaw in Apple’s Facetime allowing people to eavesdrop on unsuspecting users. Because our world relies so much on technology, whether it’s mobile or not, cybersecurity is a huge part of what companies have to invest in today.

As a two day conference taking place on April 29th and April 30th, there’s plenty of good content on the agenda. Representatives from companies like Walmart, TD Ameritrade, HarperCollins, and plenty more will be in attendance giving lectures and presenting on a variety of topics. Here’s a quick list of some speakers you can expect (full list here):

• John Prokap, CISO, HarperCollins
• Vernon Habersetzer, Senior Enterprise Technical Expert, Walmart
• Ricardo Lafosse, CISO, Morningstar
• Rehman Khan, Director – Cloud Security, TD Ameritrade
• Thomas Owen, CISO, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
• Jason Odell, Director, Incident Response, Walmart
• Brett Tucker, Technical Manager, CERT/CMU
• Joe Greene, CISO, American Chemical Society

In terms of content coverage, as always you can expect plenty of photos, summaries, and hopefully we can get a couple of interviews in as well. If you’re interested in attending, early bird Ai4 Cybersecurity tickets are available for $1,195, and also includes access to after-conference networking events.

After that date has passed we’re not sure what tickets will increase to, however, it is definitely something it keep in mind. As the conference draws near we’ll be sure to keep you updated on any changes and announcements that come out of Ai4 Cybersecurity as well. Continue reading this post ->
