Connecting The Dots For The Future | With John Chambers and Guests | Chats On The Road RSAC 2019

In today’s chat, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin speak with John Chambers, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at JC2 Ventures, and Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Cisco, and two of his guests: Mike Fong, Founder and CEO at Privoro, and Vijay Balasubramaniyan, CEO at Pindrop.

Together, the group discusses their role during RSA Conference, how corporations can balance security innovation with security operations, and the opportunity and impact that new ventures can have on society.

“I’ve seen every movie there is to see; every mistake there is to make."
~John Chambers

We all agreed that there’s way too much stuff for corporations to look at when it comes to options for solving their cybersecurity challenges; there are too many choices to select from. To this end, we discuss how the market and corporations can balance security innovation with security operation.

The group also looks at how they see innovation playing a role in addressing the challenges we face in society. Are we adequately using technology to resolve the problems for the user? Are we doing it in a way that also educates and empowers the user?

John also broadens this point by discussing the challenges we face with reaching the whole of society when the bulk of the innovations tend to take place on the West and East coasts of the United States.

And, of course, John shares with us what he plans to discuss with Diane Brady during their RSA Conference Keynote — Connecting the Dots for the Future — on Thursday, March 7th from 4:45 PM to 5:30 PM in Moscone West.
