CiNPA - Security SIG

Meeting Topic: “Manage your own risk: Personal Finance for Cybersecurity Professionals”

Abstract:
While cybersecurity professionals spend their careers protecting organizations from risk, personal financial planning is often overlooked. In this session, Brendan O’Connor draws on decades of experience in investing, saving, and business to explore the financial habits and decisions that many in tech neglect. He offers practical insights to help attendees take control of their financial future with the same discipline applied to security. This vendor-neutral session is designed purely to educate and empower, with no products or services—just actionable guidance to strengthen personal financial resilience.
