This Cybersecurity Awareness Month we’re delighted to share a special fireside chat with Mischel Kwon. Mischel is the founder and CEO of W@tchtower and a veteran of the IT and security world. Before founding her own security operations management company, she built the first Justice Security Operations Center (JSOC) while serving as the Deputy Director for IT Security Staff at the United States Department of Justice and served as the Director of US-CERT.
Mischel sat down with us for a conversation hosted by our own Tara Mavrovitis and Women of Collibra, where she shared her background, her perspective on the future of the industry, and how we can all do our part to #becybersmart. Check out the videos below.
