Highlights from the InCyber Montreal Forum

I had a tremendous time at the InCyber Montreal forum. The speakers, panels, fellow practitioners, and events were outstanding!

I bumped into Dan Lohrmann and Nancy Rainosek before their panel with Sue McCauley on CISO challenges. We had some very interesting discussions throughout the day. Always great to hang out with Dan and Nancy.

Then it was my turn on a panel, led by Nataliya Khylenko, discussing how to strike a balance when protecting data in the age of AI. Fellow panelists Sandra Estok, Tania Tanic, and Brandon Pugh were brilliant in providing diverse and relevant perspectives.

By the end of the day, I was able to spend some quality time with Diane M Janosek, Christophe Foulon, and Evgeniy Kharam.

One of my favorite talks was from the passionate Sumona Banerji, who discussed the evolving risks of child online grooming and victimization.

I also caught glimpses of Alexa Charles who leads the coordination of this massive event and keeps all us speakers happy! She is a true superstar!

The Gala Cocktail was spectacular. A local mariachi band, not what I expected in Montreal Canada, played lively tunes and the discussions were flowing among the cybersecurity professionals!

Last but not least Vincent Riou and Shigeru Kitamura, former National Security Advisor of Japan, announced an expansion of the InCyber events to include San Antonio and Japan for 2025!

I am looking forward to both next year!
