Become a catalyst for cyber innovation
Welcome to the world's most influential cyber innovation council, hosted by one of the world's largest cybersecurity investors.
A bi-annual meeting of minds between forward-thinking cyber investors, visionary pioneers, and ground-breaking practitioners. The Innovators Council explores the big themes and challenges affecting the cyber industry so that we can forge a path forward together and determine where ISTARI's capital should flow.
We don't stand still
The threat landscape will never stop evolving. To ensure organizational resilience, it is critically important to stay ahead of the curve and collaborate with one another. Innovation is the key.
We stand together
Collectively, we exchange ideas and best practices, evaluate new innovations, and discuss how to best leverage breakthroughs in technology to safeguard data integrity, privacy, and digital infrastructure. As a global investor, the Innovators Council is ISTARI’s north star for guiding how we deploy the next billion dollars from our fund.
We convene globally, locally
In each city, ISTARI’s local Innovators Council gathers twice a year. The purpose is to harness the collective expertise of local industry practitioners, investors, and innovators to address emerging threats, explore cutting-edge solutions, and foster collaboration that drives innovation forward. Each city hub is designed to be a close-knit community.
