Cybersecurity Defense Ecosystem Advisory Panel, August, 2024

Happy First Birthday CDE! This ecosystem contains a comprehensive selection of cybersecurity solutions that have been evaluated by cybersecurity professionals (including CISOs). As new solutions arise, our army of CISOs will examine them before they can be featured on the CDE directory. All suppliers must also be channel-centric because it is the channel that will promote, sell, deploy and manage their solutions.

A substantial portion of the membership benefits are available for free. In many cases that will be enough for many members. That said, all benefits will add incremental value to your business so we are also working with vendors and suppliers to minimize costs for our members with discounts and rebates. The goal is to eventually offer everything to our members at little or no cost with the support of our vendor and supplier partners!
