✉️ A Note From Jason Dion
If you’ve been working in cybersecurity for any amount of time, you already know something important:
AI isn’t a future problem, it’s a present reality.
What I’ve seen over the past year is a lot of confusion.
Some professionals feel pressured to “learn AI” without knowing what that actually means for their role.
Others are worried they’re falling behind, even though they already have strong fundamentals.
That’s why we created the AI Cybersecurity Summit.
This isn’t about turning you into an AI engineer.
It’s about giving you clarity on what matters, what doesn’t, and how AI fits responsibly into real cybersecurity work.
I’ve invited educators and practitioners I trust, people who actually work in this field, to share practical insights you can use immediately.
If you care about your cybersecurity career, I strongly encourage you to join us.
I’ll see you live.
— Jason
