In a message to FireEye employees regarding the shootings in Las Vegas on Sunday evening, FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia expressed the company’s condolences to the victims and their families, and noted the importance of coming together as a community.
“We are shocked and saddened by the shootings in Las Vegas, and our thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those affected by the tragedy,” said Mandia. “It is unfortunate that communities worldwide continue to be subjected to tragedies such as this, but we cannot let these acts prevent us from continuing with our daily lives. We will move forward with the Cyber Defense Summit as planned because it is important that we show the people of Las Vegas our solidarity and support in the aftermath of this tragedy.”
Summit attendees will hear insights from FireEye consultants working on the frontlines of today’s most important cyber security breaches.

Hall of Fame quarterback, football analyst and philanthropist Kurt Warner will be one of the summit’s featured speakers. Warner, widely recognized as one the NFL’s greatest quarterbacks, has also been active off the field in support of numerous community and charitable efforts. In 2001, he and his wife, Brenda, co-founded the charitable organization First Things First Foundation.
Other keynote speakers will include David Hogue, Senior Technical Director of the NSA Cyber Security Threat Operations Center, FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia, FireEye Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Grady Summers, and FireEye Executive Vice President of Global Services and Intelligence John Watters.
