We're thrilled to announce that Anup Ghosh, CEO of ThreatMate and a true cybersecurity pioneer, will be joining us as a featured speaker at DMV Rising 2024. As we prepare to highlight the DMV region's pivotal role in the global cyber industry, Ghosh's presence at this year’s event underscores the caliber of talent and innovation that our community fosters.

Anup's journey epitomizes the unique ecosystem that the DMV region offers. From his early days at the University of Virginia to his groundbreaking research at George Mason University, Ghosh has always been at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation. His work, backed by DARPA and resulting in over 40 peer-reviewed publications, laid the foundation for his transition into entrepreneurship.

As the founder of Invincea, Inc., Ghosh demonstrated the DMV's potential for turning cutting-edge research into commercial success. The company's acquisition for over $100 million stands as a testament to the region's ability to nurture and grow cybersecurity startups.

Today, as the CEO of ThreatMate, Ghosh continues to push the boundaries of cybersecurity. Based in the heart of the DMV, ThreatMate is revolutionizing how Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) approach cybersecurity.

At DMV Rising 2024, Ghosh will be speaking on the “Early Innovators Panel” alongside John Doyle, founder and CEO of Cape, which is backed by Andreesen Horowitz and is currently building a nationwide wireless carrier that blocks hackers and spam. Together, Ghosh and Doyle will share authentic insights (good, bad, and ugly) on the journey of building a cyber startup here in the DMV region.
