FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Popular Tech Entrepreneur to Emcee EDGE2017
Cybersecurity Conference
Brandon Bruce, COO
and co-founder of Cirrus Insight, a company with triple-digit yearly growth
since its founding, will emcee national cybersecurity conference this fall in
Knoxville
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – July 18, 2017 – The EDGE2017 Security Conference, a world-class
cybersecurity conference, announced today that Brandon Bruce, COO and
co-founder of Cirrus Insight, will
be the emcee at this year’s conference. Cirrus Insight is a sales software
company that ranked 41st on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing
U.S. companies in 2016.
EDGE2017 will be
held on October 17-18 at the Knoxville Convention Center in Knoxville,
Tennessee, and aims to tackle the most vexing security challenges of today and
tomorrow by bringing together security visionaries, industry leaders, and
technology researchers.
“The EDGE
Security Conference is fast emerging as a must-attend information security
event, and I’m thrilled to be involved,” Bruce said. “I’ll be welcoming to
Knoxville a speaker lineup that is a who’s who of cybersecurity experts and
attendees from all over the country.”
Keynote speakers
at the conference include 33-year Air Force veteran and former director of
operations for U.S. Cyber Command, Maj. Gen. Brett T. Williams, and renowned
“white hat” hackers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek. Miller and Valasek are best
known for their remote compromise of a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, whereby they
obtained physical control of the vehicle, exposing serious security flaws. The
results of this breach led Fiat Chrysler to recall 1.4 million vehicles.
“Brandon has an
engaging personality and is a creative tech entrepreneur,” said John McNeely,
president of Sword & Shield Enterprise
Security, the cybersecurity firm hosting EDGE2017. “He has already
contributed some great ideas for making EDGE2017 a more fun and interactive
conference, and I look forward seeing him guide attendees through everything we
have to offer this year.”
