With this explosion of information availability\, the potential for data breaches continues to grow exponentially. \nCybersecurity today must extend beyond simply protecting on-premises data. With the ever-increasing desire to access applications from any network\, from anywhere\, cybersecurity must also safeguard the data traversing among cloud applications\, data centers\, and end-point devices. The cost of failing to do so is potentially huge. According to a recent study sponsored by IBM\, the average cost of a single data breach is over $3 million. \nTo neutralize these risks\, one new approach that has been gaining momentum is the “zero-trust” model. Originally conceived by Forrester\, major corporations like Google have adopted various forms of zero-trust cybersecurity. If implemented properly\, zero-trust has the power to transform the industry. \n\nIs zero-trust security destined to become mainstream?\nWill a micro-segmentation security strategy offer enough protection?\nWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of not trusting anyone by default?\n\nJoin us on April 9 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Randy Wood\, VP\, Public Sector\, Akamai Technologies \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Amir Sharif\, Co-Founder\, Aporeto \nAndrew Rubin\, CEO and Co-Founder\, Illumio \nPere Monclus VP and CTO Networking and Security BU VMware \nDeepak Jeevankumar Managing Director Dell Technologies Capital \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View or download flyer for event: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download the printable event flyer. \n \n \n \n \n \n Hauck Auditorium\nDavid and Joan Traitel Building\n435 Lasuen Mall\nStanford\, CA 94305 URL:https://cc-housing.com/event/zero-trust-cybersecurity/ LOCATION:Stanford University: Hauck Auditorium\, David and Joan Traitel Building\, 435 Lasuen Mall\, Stanford\, CA\, 94305\, United States CATEGORIES:VLAB Panel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cc-housing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Cyber-Security.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190226T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190226T203000 DTSTAMP:20260615T013757 CREATED:20190220T075758Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250222T201044Z UID:15078-1551204000-1551213000@cc-housing.com SUMMARY:Breakthroughs in Diabetes: Real Progress or Just More of the Same?

Yes\, the industry has come a long way from the room-sized artificial pancreas of the 70s\, paper records\, finger pricking\, and manual injections. However\, even though these treatments are improving\, they still require constant vigilance. One missed alarm or delayed injection could be fatal. \nWith today’s continuous glucose monitoring systems and self-optimizing insulin pumps — and improved software that connects the two — the search for the artificial pancreas may be close to over. And it’s not just big companies and startups that are having an impact. Feeling that progress still seems slow\, some patients are taking matters into their own hands and creating their own artificial pancreas. Wherever these new solutions come from\, they will have the power to transform millions of lives. \n\nHow close are we to an artificial pancreas?\nWhat are companies learning from the patients who have made home-grown solutions?\nIs the industry poised to shift from “treating” to “curing” diabetes?\n\nJoin us on February 26 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Amy Tenderich\, Founder and Editor-in-Chief\, DiabetesMine \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Jeffrey Brewer\, Founder and CEO\, Bigfoot Biomedical \nEugene Brandon\, Senior Director of Strategic Relations\, ViaCyte \nJoel Goldsmith\, Senior Director\, Digital Platforms\, Abbott Diabetes Care \nDivya Gopisetty\, Associate\, The diaTribe Foundation \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View or download flyer for event: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download the printable PDF. \n \n \n \n \n \n Stanford Faculty Club\nStanford University\n439 Lagunita Drive\nStanford\, CA 94305\nDriving directions and parking information URL:https://cc-housing.com/event/breakthroughs-in-diabetes/ LOCATION:Stanford Faculty Club\, Stanford University\, 439 Lagunita Drive\, Stanford\, CA\, 94305\, United States CATEGORIES:VLAB Panel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cc-housing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Breakthroughs-in-Diabetes.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190122T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190122T203000 DTSTAMP:20260615T013757 CREATED:20190319T212147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250222T201000Z UID:400-1548180000-1548189000@cc-housing.com SUMMARY:Young Entrepreneurs: Meet the New Generation of World-Changers DESCRIPTION:Young Entrepreneurs\nMeet the New Generation of World-Changers\n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, January 22\, 2019\n6:00 pm to 8:30 pm\n6:00 pm: Reception and networking\n7:00 pm: Panel discussion (with Q&A) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The opportunity to change the world may be greater today than any other time in history\, and young entrepreneurs are leading the charge.

Complementing traditional venture investment\, VCs like Peter Thiel and Joon Yun have established foundations and prizes to accelerate the end of aging. \n\nWhy are VCs suddenly investing heavily in longevity startups?\nWill extended lifespan be a privilege of the wealthy or will the benefits be accessible to all?\nHow long before these well-funded startups bring viable products to market?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Special Presenter\n \n \n \n \n \n Aubrey de Grey\, Chief Science Officer and Co-founder\, SENS \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Sonia Arrison\, author\, 100 Plus: How the Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything… \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. Brian Kennedy\, CEO\, Buck Institute for Research on Aging \nDr. Daniel Kraft\, Founder\, RegenMed Systems\, and Chair of Medicine\, Singularity University \nWill Eden\, Vice President\, Thiel Capital\n \nJoe McCracken\, VP of Business Development\, Alkahest \nDr. Thomas Rando\, Director of the Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging\, Stanford University \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SRI International Conference Center\n333 Ravenswood Drive\nMenlo Park\, CA 94025 URL:https://cc-housing.com/event/human-longevity/ LOCATION:SRI International Conference Center\, 333 Ravenswood Drive\, Menlo Park\, CA\, 94025\, United States CATEGORIES:VLAB Panel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cc-housing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/fountain-of-youth-2048.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160517T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160517T203000 DTSTAMP:20260615T013759 CREATED:20190319T212142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250225T183441Z UID:1130-1463508000-1463517000@cc-housing.com SUMMARY:The Next Wave of Online Commerce DESCRIPTION:The Next Wave of Online Commerce\n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, May 17\, 2016\n6:00 pm to 8:30 pm\n6:00 pm: Reception and networking\n7:00 pm: Panel discussion (with Q&A) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A new wave in e-commerce is picking up energy and is about to hit shore.
