What:					Current trends point to security as a growth area for investors; however, it has historically been viewed skeptically by many investors due to the perceived size of the addressable market. Is this perspective changing? And if so, what does it mean for the community of venture firms, enterprise and government customers, and start-ups? And, does the success of the Splunk and Palo Alto Networks IPOs suggest that we are at the dawn of a renaissance in security technologies? This panel with an esteemed list of venture capitalists will dive into these questions and more.

					Attendees at the luncheon as well as remotely will have the opportunity to ask questions.
