Cybersecurity is often framed as a technical discipline, focused on tools, threats, and technology stacks.
But as risks grow more complex and visible, the real differentiator is not just technical skill. It is leadership, communication, and the ability to build strong, resilient teams.
Join NEW AITP for our February meeting featuring Amanda Kollmorgan, Deputy State IT Director for the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, as she presents:
CTRL + ALT + Lead: Rebooting Cyber Culture with Human Skills
Technical skills may open the door in cybersecurity, but mentorship, collaboration, and cultural leadership drive long-term impact.
Drawing from nearly 20 years of military and civilian experience, Amanda will share practical insights on:
• Developing people-first cybersecurity teams
• Building mentorship pipelines that grow future leaders
• Bridging communication gaps between technical teams and executive leadership
• Creating psychological safety in high-pressure, mission-driven environments
• Strengthening resilience through collaborative leadership
This session is not about going soft. It is about leading with purpose and recognizing that our strongest defense is not just our technology, it is our people.
Whether you work in cybersecurity, IT operations, digital transformation, or executive leadership, you will leave with ideas you can apply immediately.
Come early for networking and food. We look forward to seeing you there.
