Attended the C-Vision International CISO Dinner last night and to sum it up in one word, 'Wow!' Incredibly well-moderated discussion and investigation into different viewpoints. I appreciate the openness of all the attendees to share their unique experiences and perspectives. I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and look forward to further events like this.
