have a successful company. It was insightful to hear his perspective on the industry and the problems he
sees coming.

I had the opportunity to have lunch and meet Cyrus Robinson and Kris Brochhausen from Ingalls
Information Security. They were also first-time attendees but I appreciated getting to hear about their
journey and what they tried so far at the conferences. It was great to share experiences and also get
some tips on what to check out at the conference.

Meeting the Founder of GirlsWhoHack, Bia, was amazing as well. She’s a 15-year-old, young woman
who is striving to increase the number of girls in the cybersecurity field. I was inspired to find another
young woman with similar goals and aspirations. We discussed potential collaboration between my
outreach program, the Cyber Community Club (Cx3), and GirlsWhoHack.

Finally, I was able to meet and chat with Luke Potter, the Chief Operating Officer of CovertSwarm. They
bring together every element of cybersecurity testing to help companies locate every security vulnerability
