From Burnout to Balance, Innovating Cybersecurity with AI and Mental Health Initiatives

As a cybersecurity professional, we know the importance of layered defense, risk management, vulnerability disclosure, and the like. What sometimes goes overlooked is the work involved with exterior forces, such as policy. While cybersecurity professionals focus on interior issues to protect their networks, they should also consider external stimuli that may have a direct impact on their day to day operations. This workshop aims to inform the attendee of the importance of policy and why cybersecurity professionals should invest more time in it.

What You Will Leave Knowing :

This workshop hopes to teach the attendee: - Why policy is important - How policy is viewed from a non-US-centric POV - Why the GDPR is great for users (and companies) and why it'll never happen here - Not every "dumb" law is dumb
