Session
We spend a lot of time building for what’s next in cybersecurity, but performance often starts to degrade in the present. Not every problem is a tools problem. In high-pressure environments, strain shows up through people well before it appears in systems. This talk explores what we miss on the human side—and why focusing only on future capability leaves critical gaps in the present.
