CYBERSECURITY
Silicon Valley for Cybersecurity
Curated immersion programs for security executives exploring threat intelligence, zero trust, cloud security, and AI-powered defense.
The Bay Area is where cybersecurity is being built, from network security to AI-native defense. Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Zscaler are all headquartered here, alongside hundreds of venture-backed startups building the next generation of security tools. The researchers at Stanford and Berkeley studying adversarial AI, the CISOs managing security for the world's most targeted companies, and the founders deploying zero trust at scale are all within driving distance. That's the program Tupii builds.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
Zero Trust Architecture in Practice
Zero trust has moved from buzzword to deployment mandate. How Bay Area companies are implementing identity-centric security, microsegmentation, and continuous verification at scale. Conversations with the founders who built the frameworks and the CISOs running them in production.
Who you meet: Bay Area zero trust founders, CISOs at tech companies, identity security operators
AI-Powered Threat Detection and Response
AI is changing both sides of the security equation. How Bay Area companies are using machine learning for real-time threat detection, automated incident response, and predictive vulnerability analysis. What's actually reducing mean time to detection vs. what's generating noise.
Who you meet: Bay Area AI security founders, SOC operators, Stanford AI safety researchers
Cloud Security at Scale
Multi-cloud environments have created attack surfaces that traditional perimeter security can't cover. How companies like Wiz and Lacework are building cloud-native security platforms, what the shared responsibility model actually looks like in practice, and where most organizations are getting it wrong.
Who you meet: Cloud security founders, Bay Area CISO leaders, cloud infrastructure operators
Incident Response and Organizational Resilience
When a breach happens, the response in the first 48 hours determines the outcome. How Bay Area companies prepare for, detect, and recover from security incidents. Conversations with incident response leaders and breach consultants who've managed some of the most high-profile incidents in recent memory.
Who you meet: Incident response leaders, Bay Area breach consultants, CISO veterans
Security for Boards: The CISO-to-Boardroom Translation
SEC disclosure rules and rising board-level scrutiny have made cybersecurity a boardroom issue. How the best CISOs in Silicon Valley communicate risk, justify investment, and influence strategy at the board level. A session designed for security leaders who need to speak the language of business, not just technology.
Who you meet: CISOs at public companies, Bay Area board advisors, governance experts
Supply Chain Security and Third-Party Risk
SolarWinds, Log4j, and MOVEit proved that your security is only as strong as your vendors. How Bay Area companies are rethinking supply chain risk assessment, software bill of materials (SBOM), and third-party monitoring. Conversations with founders building the tools that map and monitor the dependencies most companies don't even know they have.
Who you meet: Supply chain security founders, Bay Area risk assessment operators, compliance leads
