Investing in Trust: Assessing Cybersecurity and Digital Resilience in Startups

This webinar sets the stage for our 153rd SICTIC Investor Day at the unlimitrust campus, dedicated to female founders in cybersecurity and digital trust. Cybersecurity and digital resilience have moved from technical afterthoughts to core investment criteria. In this webinar, Francesca Bosco (CSO @ CyberPeace Institute) explores why trust, security, and resilience are now decisive factors in startup valuation and long-term success. She will outline how investors can assess whether a company is resilient by design – from governance structures and technical architecture to proactive risk anticipation – and highlight key considerations when evaluating cybersecurity-focused ventures. The session will also examine the strategic role investors can play post-investment in strengthening digital resilience, helping portfolio companies build trust, mitigate risk, and create sustainable competitive advantage. As part of the program, Sisterpreneurs will briefly share why actively supporting female founders is not only a matter of diversity, but a strategic imperative for stronger, more resilient innovation ecosystems.
