We're excited to announce that Matt Warner, CTO and Co-Founder of Blumira, will be speaking at the upcoming Crain's Cybersecurity Power Breakfast on October 10, 2024, at the Detroit Athletic Club. This event brings together cybersecurity leaders to address critical issues facing businesses in today’s transforming ecosystem of cybercrime.

Matt will join a distinguished panel of experts, including Shena Tharnish from Comcast Business Solutions, Jim Beechey from CMS Energy, Raffaele Mautone from Judy Security, and Christine Wheaton from Henry Ford Health, to share insights on staying ahead of cyber threats, implementing robust security policies, and building organizational resilience.

As a Michigan native and cybersecurity veteran, Matt brings a unique perspective to the panel. His journey in the field began when he identified a significant gap in the market for cost-effective security solutions tailored to small and medium-sized businesses. This realization led him to develop the threat detection and response platform that would become the foundation of Blumira.

Prior to co-founding Blumira, Matt served as the director of security services at NetWorks Group, a managed security service provider specializing in compliance and ethical hacking. This experience gave him invaluable insights into the challenges faced by businesses of all sizes in maintaining strong cybersecurity postures.

Matt is known for his passion for cybersecurity education and his ability to translate complex security concepts into practical advice for resource-constrained companies. His approach aligns perfectly with the event's goal of equipping business leaders with critical strategies to protect their data, infrastructure, and reputation in our AI and high-tech driven world.

At Blumira, Matt has been the driving force in developing solutions that address the unique cybersecurity challenges facing Michigan businesses. Under his leadership, Blumira has observed that Michigan organizations face 34% more security findings than the national average, highlighting the critical need for robust, locally-informed security solutions.
