Metro Atlanta is home to a large concentration of information-security companies that the CyberCon event and the expanded Atlanta Cyber Week hope to grow.

While Atlanta makes its case as a global hub for cybersecurity, seven companies from around the globe will be making theirs to the city’s top chief information-security officers.

Seven of the 12 firms selected for an Oct. 4 pitch event are from four countries outside the United States: Israel, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

That follows a similar makeup of pitch panels at previous CyberCon events, which started largely as an exchange between Atlanta and Israel kickstarted by the law firm Baker Donelson.

 The event is now a core part of Atlanta Cyber Week, a series of networking and informational events highlighting Atlanta’s assets and allowing experts to share knowledge. 

On the docket are the National Technology Security Coalition conference, a joint Atlanta-Ireland fintech event, a lecture on “Cybersecurity in a Globalizing World” by the former U.S. Army chief of staff, among other events.

  •     Apptega (U.S.): Cybersecurity automation and intelligence
