Attending the FutureCon CyberSecurity Events Conference was an incredible experience, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to my Senior Director, Brandon Weiss, for the opportunity!
The day kicked off with an inspiring speech by our CMO, Neal Hartsell, which set a high bar for the rest of the event. What a great start to the conference!
I was honored to attend alongside our VP of Sales, Chris Warman, and meet some truly amazing people in the cybersecurity space. Huge thanks to FutureCon CyberSecurity Events for hosting such a fantastic event and to Gradient Cyber for allowing me to be a part of it!
As a tech enthusiast, it was eye-opening to step into this side of the business — networking with brilliant minds, learning about cutting-edge technologies, and understanding the real-world challenges and needs in the market. It’s one thing to build tech, but another to meet the people who actually need it and figure out how we can help them succeed.
One moment that stood out to me personally: I remembered attending placement booths hosted by University of North Carolina at Charlotte just a year ago, where I submitted resumes, hoping to find my place in the industry. Yesterday, I found myself on the other side of the booth, and it was a full-circle moment. Grateful for how far the journey has come.
Once again, thank you Gradient Cyber and FutureCon CyberSecurity Events for this fantastic opportunity!
