Very few people were talking about network security when Cadre was formed back in late 1991. By most accounts, the first firewall was invented a year later, circa 1992, to the credit of multiple inventors. In the world of security technology, over two decades of experience makes Cadre a true pioneer in the business. Cadre was formed from a team of software developers that began to branch out into data security very quickly. In delving deeper, they recognized the risk potential for companies, a threat that many organizations had yet to understand entirely. Their early discussions began by explaining what a firewall does and more often backtracked to how a network functions behind the desktop. Inspired by the opportunity to stand at the forefront of a breakthrough in the technology industry, Cadre entered the security arena in 1996.
Shortly thereafter, we were offering support services for the earliest and most well-known names in security, including Check Point, CacheFlow (later acquired by Blue Coat Systems), and Ipsilon (later acquired by Nokia). In fact, for over a year during that time, we offered Check Point support even before Check Point did!
Today, we are a solidly run organization, with 64% growth in Net Worth per annum since the appointment of the current CEO & Chairman, Sandra Laney, in 2001. We also became employee-owned at that time, a foundation for the model of management that has allowed us to grow faster and more profitably than conventionally run competitors.
It hasn’t always been easy though. In the early days, finding talent with a knowledge foundation of security was very difficult. The learning curve was as steep internally as it was externally. Eventually a group of individuals with a passion for data security came together.
In 2012, we became certified as a Woman Business Enterprise (WBE). Around that same timeframe, we were selected as Check Point Platinum Partner of the Year and Blue Coat Partner of the Year. These, and multiple awards from various manufacturing partners, have elevated the Cadre brand to a national level and positioned us alongside a very select group of solution providers.
We have a vast collection of information security providers, technical support solutions, and services. Our wide array of professional services includes Support, Consulting, Assessments and Training. Our Support Services group provides Level 1-3 technical support for Check Point and Juniper products. The Consulting Services group provides excellent installation and upgrade services and the Assessment services group stands ready to assist with compliance and security architecture challenges. Cadre is an Authorized Training Partner for Check Point and offers training courses onsite, remote and via a mobile classroom.
Net net, we believed in security before it became headline news and everything we do is geared toward serving that belief; the security guidance we offer, the technical expertise we provide, and our commitment to best of breed technology. As security evolves, so too will Cadre, navigating the landscape to serve as our client’s trusted advisors for decades to come.

We put our heart and soul into this Cybersecurity Conference directory.
Way back in 2013 we had another website called “Concise Courses” which used to market and sell InfoSec training courses. We published a blog post listing all the upcoming InfoSec Conferences of that year, and Google loved the resource and put us right to the top of the search engines. That ‘accidental’ occurrence spawned this directory which is maintained by a small team comprising of Henry Dalziel and Charles Villaneuva and a bunch of freelance programmers.
What We Do:
We list, literally, every single Information Security conference, event and seminar within every niche in Cybersecurity.
We have a dedicated team that maintains our in-house tech stack, directory, and data curation.

Cybersecurity and cyber resilience: It's an evolution
Cyber security and cyber resilience are often used interchangeably. While they are related, they’re far from being synonyms, and it’s crucial for everyone to understand the difference. In practical terms, a cyber-resilient organization assumes that at some point it will be successfully attacked. We must adapt to this reality and still enable the business to operate. Stan will get into the distinctions between what we know and how we can evolve to a more resilient state.

Changing Cyber Landscapes: The Battle of Algorithms
Among rapidly evolving technological advancements, the emergence of AI-enhanced malware is making cyber-attacks exponentially more dangerous, and harder to identify. Mounted at speed and scale, AI-powered cyber-attacks will drastically increase yield for cyber-criminals, and may even result in the subtle manipulation or distortion of information or data.
In the face of offensive AI attacks, organizations are turning to defensive cyber AI, which can identify and neutralize emerging malicious activity, no matter when, or where, it strikes.
In this session, learn about:
-Paradigm shifts in the cyber-threat landscape
·Advancements in offensive AI attack techniques
·How defensive AI can fight back
·Real-world examples of emerging threats that were stopped with Cyber AI
