You don’t need to know it all, just where to look and who to ask. The most effective security leaders build strong networks, not perfect knowledge.

In this overview of Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness, we will look at the importance of addressing human risk and how this program uses micro learning sessions to deliver frequent, easy to consume content that builds a strong security culture.

Forescout CEO Barry Mainz is joined by Lt. General Robert J. Skinner, USAF, retired. Together, they will explore how convergence across people, technologies, and missions is reshaping cybersecurity in both the public and private sectors. From the pressure to deliver AI-driven cost savings, to navigating the emerging threat posed by quantum, to the cultural shift required for true operational convergence, Barry and Bob unpack what it really takes to lead in today’s threat landscape. At the center of it all: how time, not money, is becoming the most scarce and strategic resource in cyber defense.
