Making Cyber and AI a shared priority from Sarasota to Marco Island
SWFL Tech continues to focus on uniting and promoting the tech ecosystem around key opportunities and challenges.
Southwest Florida’s tech scene is rapidly transforming healthcare, real estate, logistics, manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, and more. But as innovation accelerates, so do the risks. For tech‑enabled businesses and professionals, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern; the rise in phishing attacks, ransomware, and data breaches makes even small organizations high‑value targets. A new layer of complexity—artificial intelligence (AI)—is powering business efficiency and being weaponized by cybercriminals.
Florida logged $1.07 billion in internet‑crime losses in 2024, the 3rd‑highest state total (FBI IC3). Now is the time to make Cybersecurity & AI a shared priority for the region.
Save the date: BSides SWFL Cyber Conference arrives this November.
