About this event
AI is already in the fight. Attackers use it to craft convincing phishing, clone voices, and scout targets in minutes. Defenders use it to sort alerts, catch intrusions, and do more with smaller teams. What decides the outcome is the same thing it's always been: people with judgment who know the mission.
This Veterans Day, join veteran and cybersecurity instructor Andrew Grimes for a look at where AI and security are heading, why the skills you built in service are the ones that will hold their value, and a field brief on the AI-driven scams targeting veterans and their families with three things you can do about them this week.
We'll also hear from Graeme Rudd, former Green Beret turned cybersecurity and AI governance leader. Graeme will share how he moved from Special Forces into cyber, how to translate military experience for civilian employers, and why AI governance, risk, and compliance is a strong path for veterans who've managed change inside large organizations. He'll close with practical steps you can take to start your own transition.
Stay afterward to network with veterans already working in tech and those on their way in.
