📅 Mark Your Calendars!📅 Date: Friday, April 24, 2026⏰ Time: 12:30 PM PT (San Francisco, CA) | 2:30 PM CT (San Antonio, TX) | 3:30 PM ET (Washington, D.C.)📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → RSVP & Join the Discussion
“Class, today we’re going to confront a hard truth about cybersecurity—one that many organizations are still struggling to accept.
The biggest vulnerability in cybersecurity today… is not technology.
It’s leadership.
And that’s exactly why I’m honored to introduce our next guest speaker—Diah Ra.
Diah is a visionary cybersecurity executive, founder of Sheroes Cyber, and a Certified Chief Information Security Officer who has spent nearly two decades operating in environments where failure is simply not an option—healthcare, medical devices, insurance, and other highly regulated industries.  
She has built cybersecurity programs from the ground up, contributed to national standards through organizations like NIST and HSCC, and led enterprise-wide initiatives that integrate security, compliance, and business strategy.
But what makes Diah truly special—and why I brought her here today—is this:
👉 She doesn’t just talk about cybersecurity as a technical discipline👉 She frames it as a leadership responsibility
She has said it best:“Cybersecurity is no longer optional. It’s existential.”  
Today, she’s going to challenge all of us—especially the next generation of leaders in this room—with her talk:
“The Leadership Gap in Cybersecurity.”
She’s going to explore:
* Why organizations are failing—not because of missing tools, but because of unclear leadership* Why Gen Z may be the most important generation in redefining cyber leadership* What skills actually matter in today’s AI-accelerated threat landscape* And most importantly… what your roadmap looks like from student → practitioner → leader
This is not just a talk about cybersecurity.
This is a call to step up.
👉 To lead when others hesitate👉 To think beyond tools and frameworks👉 And to take ownership of outcomes—not just tasks
So as you listen today, I want you to reflect on this:
* Are you preparing to be a cybersecurity professional… or a cybersecurity leader?* When the moment comes, will you wait for direction—or will you provide it?* And what kind of leader will you become when the stakes are high and the path is unclear?
Class, please join me in welcoming a leader who is shaping the future of cybersecurity, governance, and leadership…
Diah Ra.” 👏

Class, today we’re going to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in cybersecurity…
That more controls equal more security.
In reality, most organizations don’t fail because they lack tools, frameworks, or controls.They fail because when it matters most—when decisions become consequential—governance breaks down.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce our next industry guest speaker, Keyaan J. Williams.
Keyaan is the Managing Director of CLASS-LLC, a global management consulting firm focused on risk governance, executive education, and board-level decision-making. He is also a Distinguished Fellow at the Enterprise Risk Quantification Institute and a trusted advisor to boards and senior executives navigating complex risk environments.
What makes Keyaan’s work different is this—He doesn’t just talk about cybersecurity…He translates risk into decision-ready insight for leaders at the highest levels of the enterprise.  
He operates where many of you will one day operate:👉 At the intersection of risk, leadership, and enterprise value
Today, he’s going to walk us through a powerful framework:
👉 “Rules of Risk Governance”
This isn’t about dashboards.This isn’t about compliance checklists.
This is about answering fundamental questions:
* Why does the enterprise exist?* How is value created—and protected?* And who owns the consequences when uncertainty becomes loss?
As you’ll hear, his framework defines seven non-negotiable rules, including:
* Governance begins with purpose—not control* Authority must match accountability* Risk acceptance is a leadership decision—not a technical one* And governance must hold under stress
One of the most important takeaways from his work is this:
👉 Cybersecurity professionals don’t just protect systems…👉 They must enable leadership to make informed decisions about risk and value
And that requires a shift—from being technical operators…To becoming translators, advisors, and leaders.
As you listen today, I want you to think about this:
👉 If you were sitting in the boardroom…👉 Could you explain risk in a way that shapes business decisions?
Because that is the difference between:
* A security engineer* And a security leader
Please join me in welcoming Keyaan J. Williams as he challenges us to think beyond controls—and into governance, accountability, and leadership.

“Class, today we’re going to shift from tools and technologies to something even more critical—the human layer of cybersecurity and AI leadership.
It’s easy to focus on firewalls, encryption, and AI models. But in every breach, every failure, every crisis… there is always a human decision somewhere in the chain.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce our guest speaker, Daniel D. Young.
Daniel is a Systems Architect for Human Potential, author of Honor Mode Companion: Empowerment Agenda Workbook, and a leader who has helped design systems that operate under real-world pressure—from disaster recovery and federal programs to workforce systems and community resilience.
He has helped distribute over $100M in federal assistance, worked in high-stakes environments like emergency response and elections, and built what he calls behavioral infrastructure—systems that ensure people perform with integrity even under stress  .
Today, he’s going to challenge us to think differently:
👉 Not just as engineers or analysts👉 But as designers of systems that include human behavior, ethics, and AI collaboration
His talk—“Honor Mode for Future Leadership: How to Stay Human in an Agentic AI World”—is about becoming what he calls a Human Firewall.
