Behind closed doors, my keynote The Future is Female: Why Tomorrow’s Top CISOs will be Women at the Microsoft Cyberwoman Mentoring Program offered the perfect opportunity for me to discuss:

• cybersecurity discourse;

• rethinking holistic security - cyber & physical;

• understanding the playing field;

• the importance of people skills;

• tech CISOs & management CISOs;

• “female” traits; &

• leadership lessons men can learn from women.
