In a rapidly digitizing world, cloud computing has become the backbone of innovation. However, as the world races toward a tech-driven society, one critical issue demands urgent attention and that’s security. Tech leaders like IntelligIS CEO Marcus Wilson, BizTech Fusion CEO Xadean Ahmasi and ECF Data CEO Joseph Hendrson see cloud migration as more than just a technical change. They consider it crucial for building organizational resilience and strengthening security posture, with Fortune Business Insights projecting that the global IT security market to reach $578.2 billion by 2033. The Breakdown You Need To Know: Cloud adoption without robust IT security is like building a smart city on a cracked foundation. To truly unlock the promise of digital transformation, IT security cloud solutions must be prioritized, not just as an afterthought, but as a strategic enabler. This is why Henderson, Ahmasi and Wilson leaned into the resources available to them as Microsoft BPGI Partners to help scale their businesses and provide exceptional results for clients, as CultureBanx noted during its “Elevating Innovation” session. IT security remains tricky and this is exactly why a company like IntelligIS is hyper-focused on making sure to deliver the best security solutions to its clients. Companies can no longer ignore how poor cloud security hits their bottom line. Recent data shows that data breaches now cost $4.88 million on average in 2024, according to Beamsec. “Educating our clients is key because it doesn’t matter what type of tool you use. It could be multi-factor identification or end-to-end encryption…there are always gaps in the system,” said Wilson, IntelligIS CEO to CultureBanx.

Behind every thriving company is a story of resilience, vision, and the right partnerships. One thing I’ve learned from successful entrepreneurs is this: Growth doesn’t happen in isolation. It thrives in an ecosystem. Entrepreneurship can feel lonely. But when business owners have access to: • Mentorship • A strong network • Strategic support They don’t just grow. They transform. That’s why I love working with organizations that empower others. AppMeetup is a phenomenal example. They’ve helped tech founders scale with expert guidance on sales, marketing, and leadership.
