Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
Take9 headed to Dallas, Texas to participate in the annual Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) Conference on April 2-5, 2025. As sponsors of the conference, we connected with this special community of over 2000 individuals discussing pathways for women and girls in cybersecurity, skill development within cyber, and opportunities to collaborate across the field.
As part of our engagement, Take9 asked attendees to contribute to a chalk wall to discuss how they were protecting their security online and who they were committing to bring along on their journey. Attendees contributed throughout the week and we could quickly see the practical but informative and supportive ways the community takes care of themselves and others. Many said that they know ‘it’s better to be safe than sorry’ and that it was personal when choosing who to secure. When asked who individuals were bringing alongside on their journey, attendees shared that they are bringing their communities, friends, and family.

A big thank you to the many attendees who also visited our Take9 booth at WiCyS Conference. We had so many conversations on how others can bring the pause to their local communities and we’re eager to continue spreading the message.
