About Corey White:
Corey is a forward thinker and innovator, but he always puts people first. He founded Cyvatar in 2019 in response to the lack of remediation in the cybersecurity industry; Lots of services exist to help you identify issues, but not necessarily fix them. Cyvatar offers a comprehensive collection of tools to help businesses of all sizes manage their risks. Corey decided to incorporate a SaaS model as a commitment to the ever-changing security needs of companies big and small spanning every industry. As cyber criminals become more stealthy, Corey and Cyvatar are ready to take on every emerging threat.

High profile cyber attacks continue to threaten economies worldwide. From meat packing plants to entire election cycles, it seems no individual or entity is safe. A 25+ year veteran of the security industry, Corey has a deep understanding of the evolving nature of cyber risk. He can offer valuable insights into the current state of affairs as well as the dangers on the horizon. He would love to talk about cyber security as it relates to healthcare, hospitality, gaming, cannabis, and more.
