What a night! 👏

Our Insights to Impact panel — "Cyber Resilience in the Age of AI: Protecting What Matters Most" — brought together some of the sharpest minds in cybersecurity and tech leadership for a conversation that was equal parts inspiring and practical.

Here's what our panelists want you to walk away with:

🔹 Know what you're defending. You can't protect what you can't see. Visibility is foundational, not optional.
🔹 Speak the language of the business. Brenda Santos reminded us that not everyone speaks "cyber" — but everyone understands risk when it's framed in terms they relate to.
🔹 Ask for help. One of our panelists said it best: in an industry evolving this fast, the willingness to learn and lean on your community is what separates good security leaders from great ones.

Thank you to our incredible panelists Anita Karim, Brenda Santos, and Andrew Forgie, our moderator Fern Johnson, sponsor Armis, and host CG Infinity for making the evening possible.

This is what DFW*ATW is all about. 💙
