Peer Consulting Circles for Real-World Security Challenges
About this Event

Topic:

Tired of tackling security problems in a silo? You're not alone. Whether it's alert fatigue, tool overload, or cloud visibility gaps, slow processes, every security team hits friction points. But what if you could tap into the collective brainpower of peers who’ve faced the same challenges, and come out the other side?

Join us for a hands-on, high-energy workshop where cybersecurity professionals break into peer consulting circles to tackle real problems, share lessons learned, and walk away with fresh strategies and actionable ideas. From SIEM tuning headaches to failed tool rollouts, to insane IR stories, we’ll workshop the issues that slow us down and crowdsource solutions that actually work.

This isn’t just about solving technical problems, it’s about making new connections, learning what’s worked (or not) for others, and building bonds with people who get it.

If you’ve ever thought, “Someone else must have figured this out already,” this is where you find them.


Speaker: Gina Yacone, Vice President of ISSA Denver | Advisory CISO

Gina holds the position of Regional and Advisory Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Trace3, focusing on the Mountain State Region and resides in Denver, Colorado. Her role includes advising senior security leaders on emerging trends in cybersecurity, identifying and addressing security gaps, developing robust defense mechanisms, and implementing targeted, advanced security measures to protect critical digital information. Additionally, Gina leads compliance efforts within her region and provides virtual CISO (vCISO) services to a few organizations.

Gina received several prestigious honors, including Cybersecurity Woman of the Year 2024, LinkedIn Top Security Voice, recognition as one of the Top 9 vCISO Influencers of 2024, and a spot among the Top 20 Women of the World.

Gina is a purpose-driven technology leader, bridging technical expertise with strategic vision, championing both organizational excellence and individual potential. Her approach centers on cultivating high-performing teams through intentional leadership that values each person's unique strengths and collective achievement, as well as a lot of continuous research and education – technology never stops evolving.

As a firm believer in continuous professional development and active community engagement, Gina earned a master’s degree in Cybersecurity from the University of New Hampshire’s School of Engineering, and is highly regarded figure in cybersecurity, she has spoken at over 100 conferences and/or events and is an active member of several industry organizations, including the Colorado Technology Association (CTA), InfraGard, ISSA, ISACA, and Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS). Gina currently serves as Vice President of ISSA Denver, which is the 3rd largest ISSA chapter in the world.
