How often do CISOs smile? Not very often. The role is difficult, ambiguous, and chaotic. 

However, some cybersecurity events set themselves apart as CISOs build partnerships, commiserate, and communicate both best practices and pitfalls to avoid. 

Mindfluence was one of those events! (…although the perfect weather, being hosted in Napa CA, and amazing wines might have also contributed to overall jovialness)  

I am looking forward to future events!

We must never forget we have enemies who are ruthless in purposefully targeting innocent civilians. We must stand together and not allow caustic elements to divide us. We must be proactive in managing the risks we face to protect freedom and liberty. We must support each other and not let fear stand in the way of what must be done. 

The free world will not accept being terrorized. 

We shall remember those we lost and the heroes who step forward!

Mentorship is crucial in cybersecurity. Leveraging the knowledge, experience, and connections of those who have a deep understanding and are respected among their peers is a real advantage.
