Dawn did an outstanding job educating our Coffee with Kelly community on the importance of cybersecurity safety in the age of AI. Her insights into why this topic matters and what we need to be aware of to protect ourselves as AI continues to grow were eye-opening. She was incredibly engaging, breaking down complex ideas into something we could all understand. What stood out most was her willingness to answer our questions thoughtfully, ensuring we left with a clearer understanding. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge on this critical topic.
