Insight IGNITE’s Post

Echoed by the insights and budget priorities outlined in the new 2024 State of Enterprise Tech Report, there's a growing demand from enterprises and their tech teams to learn how to innovate strategically and understand transformative technologies. Insight IGNITE is meeting this demand with the IGNITE Enterprise Accelerator, a professional growth program for senior enterprise leaders and their tech teams that leverages the collective wisdom of Insight's investment team and portfolio company founders. Now in its second cohort, the IEA is equipping 800 participants from 140+ enterprises with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate and drive innovation across four enterprise imperatives: Cybersecurity, Data & AI, Digital Experience, and Modern Infrastructure & Developer Ecosystem.

To kick off the month of May, Insight Partners hosted a spring Software Social, bringing together our New York network of portfolio leaders, Insight IGNITE executives, and software innovators for a night of connecting and celebrating the NYC software community. We heard from Managing Director Mike Hayes, who delivered a welcome toast about his path to Insight and the value of connecting with one another for impactful conversations — the ultimate theme of our Software Social events. Thank you to everyone who attended. We're looking forward to bringing together the Insight Partners community with more events this year.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭? Last weekend I had the pleasure of moderating a workshop (by CISOs, for CISOs) with Torsten Jüngling about this topic at the SEKOP2024 conference.

This is neither good for your own company, nor the vendors you work with. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲-𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞?
