Security on a Budget: Best Practices for Startups

Presenter: Sourya Biswas

“How much security is enough?” The right answer is, “Just enough.” For startups focused on core operations and getting to the next round of funding, understanding what’s “just enough” should not be time-consuming or expensive. Also, to understand where you want to be (target state), it’s imperative to know where you are now (current state). Finally, a roadmap is needed to get from the current state to the desired target state. Having worked with startups of varying sizes across industries, we will cover these topics backed by real-life anonymized examples.

Private Screening of Joker

"Joker" centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone fictional story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips' exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham's fractured society. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night...but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study.
