Thrilled to share my journey from SE Academy to becoming a full-time Systems Engineer at Palo Alto Networks! Grateful for the support, mentorship, opportunities and learning experiences that have shaped my career. Special thanks to Hui-Ning Tan for the opportunity to share my thoughts. Check out my story on the blog at: https://lnkd.in/g4hxuZ-E

Really impressed with the #NatSecGirlSquad #NSGSCon team, and *so* excited for how things are shaping up. We’re 109 days away from Opening Day and barely 3 weeks into full planning season…but things are off to a busy start! We are a far way from the finish line, but it is starting to come together. The agenda? Amazing! I am so excited for speaker invites to begin going out shortly. Diplomatic Security Service is putting together what will be the most extensive and interactive contribution from any partner in the history of #NSGSCon to date, and we expect great things from U.S. Secret Service, too! PPO will be onsite to talk about political appointments, and of course relevant rotations for career public servants, and we’ve got a long list of meetings set up with over a dozen other federal departments and agencies. Georgetown Center for Security Studies and Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs are the earliest confirmed academic partners, and Hacker in Heels will be onsite for the #cybersecurity fans among us. Oh, and we’ve booked some of the most in-demand fitness instructors in DC for onsite community classes. Women In International Security (WIIS) , Women's Foreign Policy Group , Black Professionals in International Affairs - BPIA , and Interruptrr are helping us spread the word and we are so grateful. We’re hoping to have so many more partners join us from across federal #government, #media, private sector, #defenseinnovation, and everywhere in between. I’ve got a few ideas on my list (👀 Kevin Baron Second Front Systems M. John Saad Axios Google Amazon Web Services (AWS) Prodacity 👀 ) If you’re thinking about it, let me know. And if you haven’t gotten your ticket yet- now’s the time! 2-Day tickets are 25% off with the code FLASH September 21-23.

Hey Everyone!!   📣#GSX2023 is only 5 weeks away! We at ASIS NextGen will be bringing you some of the educational sessions and events we believe will be transformational for the NextGeners attending.   Make sure to follow our page and ring the bell to get notified of these posts!! Add this session to your program: https://lnkd.in/ec_US7df Title: Increasing the Likelihood of Security Proposal Approval by Effectively Communicating Through “The Language of Business” 📅 Date: September 12th, 2023 🕒 Time: 11:45 AM - 12:45 AM Central Time (US & Canada) 📍 Location: C147/C148/C154, Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Centre, Dallas, TX To be an effective leader within an organization, one must understand best practices. A necessary, yet difficult, best practice to master is fluent communication of the “language of business” (e.g., the interplay of accounting and finance) when making funding requests. However, mastery of this best practice can significantly increase a proposal’s likelihood of receiving funding. How do you gain fluency in the language of business and what elements are most important to security professionals? This presentation will address the key topics you need to master to better communicate your security-related goals to executives within your organization, as well as how you can obtain buy-in from these executives to complete your objectives. In this presentation, our speakers Kevin Koharki and Moe Salahuddin, MBA will focus on why a mindset shift from security to business is imperative to keep up with fast-paced, hyper-growth environments. Attendees will learn to process ideas and solutions from a business perspective. As a NextGen Professional, I don’t want to miss this presentation. How about you? As a security professional, have you experienced any challenge getting the management buy-in? I look forward to hear from you in the comments below. #leadershipandmanagement #youngprofessionals #TheKindnessGames #OwningLifeStories #YoungProfessionals #SecurityIndustry #asisinternational #career #securityprofessionals #events #leadership #security #myasis #asisinternational

Once we were fierce competitors, but only 6 months ago, we became serious partners when Cisco and Nutanix announced their joint GTM. Since then we've started to build a real engine of growth to take on the Hybrid Cloud Market. But then, the Stormers/WP Rugby 🏉 came to town to play my team - Northampton Saints. For 80 minutes - hostilities resumed as Rowen Grierson's Stormers took on Ged Fitton's Saints. The Stormers were victorious, but 60 seconds after the final whistle, the partnership resumed, beers were drunk 🍻, and plans of how we can work together for the benefit of our customers and partners were built! #cisco #nutanix #hyperconverged #hybridcloud #partnershipsmatter
