At the 2025 Munich Cyber Security Conference, Wondros President Kiersten E. Todt led a thought-provoking conversation with leaders from Siemens, Mastercard, Enabled Intelligence, UC Berkeley, and Vanderbilt University. The conversation focused on a critical theme: the role of people—our insight, adaptability, and values—in securing the future of AI and cybersecurity. Too often, humans are framed as the weakest link in tech systems. This panel flipped that narrative, showing how human intelligence is a strategic advantage. From scaling cyber clinics and embracing neurodiverse talent, to redesigning education and embedding “friction by design,” the takeaway was clear: as AI accelerates, resilience won’t come from smarter machines alone—it will come from investing in people who can lead with speed, clarity, and creativity.
