I learned so much this year and I know that there will be just as much available for me to learn next year. I don't believe that 100 percent protection is possible. We have to be prepared for any kind of threat getting into our network, and I think cyber resilience is what puts us back on our feet immediately after an attack occurs.

There needs to be a revelation in terms of the cybersecurity industry, not just from a technology standpoint, but more so from the human touch standpoint. The fact is that we need to get these doors and these windows closed at 100 percent success rate so we know that there is no deficiencies anymore. That will bring me undoubtedly to the next summit.  Cyber resilience means keeping abreast of what's out there in the market: the threats, the technologies that are available, and creating a recipe that works within an organization.

I came to the Cyber Resilience Summit because I wanted to network with my peers and learn more about the tools and make sure that I’m actually using them correctly. Cyber resilience is always a fight. You'll never stop needing to look at new processes and technologies. To me, cyber resilience is always being on the cutting edge and in being aware of your surroundings.
