Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) reposted this
We divided, we conquered, we did business, we learned, we networked, and we helped solve challenges…. RSAC Conference did what it does best - brings the cybersecurity community to life ❤️ And, in case it couldn’t get better, I also met Arnold Schwarzenegger (and no, the image w/the Terminator is not AI). Thank you to all that attended our sessions, our networking events, and the Evolution Equity Partners Presidential Forum where they so kindly and generously donated proceeds to Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS). I’m forever grateful to be in my “WiCyS era”. #womenincybersecurity #womenincyber #cybersecurity #cyberjobs #RSAC2026
