Drawing on experience in technology education, this session explores how the gap between emerging security technologies and frontline readiness can be bridged through smarter training, curriculum design, and capability building. Discover how an educator's lens offers fresh insights into preparing security professionals for an AI-enabled world — and what the industry can learn from the classroom.
