PBC also runs closed cohorts of 30 select security leaders for candid, off-the-record discussions, peer learning, and hands-on collaboration on emerging AI security challenges, including co-authoring blogs and frameworks and participating in panel discussions. Each cohort runs for four months under Chatham House-style rules, creating a dynamic virtual space for honest conversation among peers.
Meet us at a PBC Connect
PBC Connect is our flagship in-person event series, held alongside RSA Conference and Black Hat USA. Each gathering brings together CISOs and leaders in AppSec, product, infrastructure and AI security for a day of fireside chats and panels with industry luminaries, including leaders from companies like Anthropic, Visa, PayPal, NetApp and others. PBC Connect provides a platform for peer networking and community-building over food and drinks, in a high-impact setting built for meaningful connections.
Uniting security professionals on a mission to democratize software security and solve its ever-evolving challenges with the power of Community.
