Waltham, Mass., Sept. 3, 2015 -- Cryptzone, a provider of dynamic, context-aware network, application and content security solutions, today announced its ‘Let’s Talk Cybersecurity Seminar Series’ multi city tour, where the company’s CSO, Leo Taddeo and former FBI agent in the Special Operations/Cyber Division and invited guests will discuss the changing landscape of cybersecurity, how cyberattacks have increased and evolved to include organized crime, technical hackers, hacktivists, terrorists and nation-states - penetrating crumbling perimeter defenses. He'll take a close look at the evolution of network security and how companies like Google are changing how they address access, as well as how to combat threats from the outside and within.

“Organizations are recognizing that they need to fundamentally re-architect their security infrastructure, and are eager to discuss with their peers and industry experts the best practices for doing so,” said Kurt A. Mueffelmann, President and CEO of Cryptzone. “With the addition of experts like Leo Taddeo, our new CSO and former FBI agent in the Special Operations/Cyber Division, Cryptzone is excited to provide thought-provoking dialogue to help solve the problems that exist today, and help enterprises plan for what’s coming tomorrow.”

Cryptzone’s leadership team will travel to Boston (Sept. 10), Toronto (Sept. 16), Chicago (Sept. 17) and New York City (Oct. 1), Dallas (Oct. 20), Washington, DC (Oct. 22) and London (Nov. 13) to lead a day of security discussions in each city.
