Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) - closing the vulnerability gap

Purposeful leadership in learning
In a world that often confuses visibility with value, I've learned that true leadership doesn't always speak the loudest. Sometimes, it speaks most clearly through intention, inclusion and integrity. And often, it's women who model this kind of leadership - quietly, consistently and impactfully.
