​Sports is big business: the global sports market is forecasted to grow from $480.12 Billion in 2023 to $629.81 Billion by 2028! Much of this growth is being driven by the adoption of technologies including expanding streaming options, social media, AR/VR, AI, and a proliferation of internet accessible devices, contactless ticketing, payments, and personalization. These factors, combined with large concentrations of spectators frequently gathering in venues, create a unique and attractive attack surface for malicious actors to target. 

​This panel discussion will feature cybersecurity leaders from top professional sports organizations who will share what it’s like on game day, which for them, is every day: 

• ​How cybersecurity for professional sports organizations is different from other organizations... and how it’s the same 

• ​Having celebrity employees  

• ​How league and team structure affects standards and compliance 

• ​The impact of gambling on cybersecurity 

• ​Collaboration with DHS and the FBI 

• ​Cyber insurance and risk management 

​Dinner, drinks, and ample opportunities for networking will be provided.

​Panelists:

• ​Michael Israel - CIO & CISO, New England Patriots 

• ​Christina Morillo – Information Security Manager, New York Giants 

• ​George Griesler - Senior Director, Cybersecurity, National Football League

• ​Bill Taub - Senior Vice President, Cybersecurity at Endeavor (UFC, WWE, and more)
