The cybersecurity arm produces the most cutting-edge insights, analyses and practical solutions to today’s cybersecurity challenges and dynamics.

Ahead of the annual Blackhat 2024 summit commencing on August 6^th, Cybersphere President Shira Rubinoff has announced a new concept show named ‘Clarity’. The show would run bi-monthly and produce 45 minutes of relevant and engaging video content. Hosted by Shira Rubinoff, the show will be joined by corporate and organizational C-suite guests who will raise heavy hitting pain points the business communities face within the challenging cybersecurity environment.

Following the two inaugural episodes, Shira will leverage her unique CISO Board with a rotating member who will participate in the exchange in order to tackle the business challenges head-on to reach practical solutions and provide meaningful advice.

Kicking off the show, Clarity’s lineup will include in its first two episodes CISO Board Members who, alongside host Shira Rubinoff, will give an up-to-date overview on the state of the industry.

C-suite personnel or representatives may submit their request to enter the lineup for the show’s participation here.
