On June 5, 2018, Trexin participated in the 2nd Annual SecureWorld Chicago Expo held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. The Expo’s theme “Fast Forward” offered a full day of cybersecurity education around predicting and preparing for our cyber future.

Trexin’s Chief Security Officer Glenn Kapetansky was the moderator for the open session “What Will They Think of Next (Emerging Threats)”, focusing on the uptick in cyberattacks, cybersecurity threats, and how individuals and organizations can better secure against IOT (Internet of Things) devices.

The panel of industry experts included:

• Steven Overko – Solution Engineer, SentinelOne
• Kenneth Geers – Chief Research Scientist, Comodo
