Tech Talks with Kyle Offenback - CTO of Epsilon (Cybersecurity)

Do you want to understand the modern world of technology and business? Do you want to know how Asheville fits into the tech ecosystem? Do you want to find a place in this new world of AI, Robots and Smart Toasters?

Our Tech Talk series brings in local technology entrepreneurs, founders, professionals, and the people that support us to discuss what it takes to try to be successful. These are conversations about what is happening TODAY, and are the thoughts of the people that are working in the trenches trying to make their organizations successful.

Everyone agrees that we need more "cybersecurity", but... what does that actually mean? We'll be talking with Kyle about what the current world of Cybersecurity look like, what cybersecurity practitioners do, and how professionals and organizations can increase their skills and resources.
We'll talk about:

• What is Cybersecurity?
• What do the modern threat vectors look like?
• How do people become cybersecurity professionals?
• What kinds of services do companies like Epsilon provide
• and... or course... whether ChatGPT will kill cybersecurity profession...

The chat will be 45-60 minutes with questions asked during QA and breaks
Anyone interested in the world of technology is invited. We will be talking as tech professionals, but it shouldn't get too into the weeds. If you don't know a word just ask the person beside you.

ERC is our Pizza Sponsor and they will be brining excellent Pizza for attendees. We will have fresh baked cookies of course, but we ask that there's no alcohol. We want this to be a comfortable environment for all ages.
