Solving for Cyber: The Business of Building Trust
The digital economy is built on trust: that transactions are protected from fraud and crime, and that personal, business, and government data are used appropriately and stored securely.
The state of Texas is number one in the United States for employment in the credit and consumer lending sector. This makes its capital city, Austin, the perfect place to kick-off our national conversation “The Digital Trust: Securing Commerce.” Texas is a hub for well-established companies and start-ups alike – in 2012, venture capitalists invested more than $621 million in Austin based start-ups, and established corporate giants like IBM, Dell, AT&T, Visa, and more all have hubs there too.
What are the leading technological security innovations being developed in “Silicon Hills”? Bloomberg Government will convene experts in Austin to highlight the people, schools, start-ups, and corporate heavy-hitters breaking the mold of how we protect our digital, financial, and personal identities.
