  1. 1. Reflections From TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 As a Security Professional

    This week I had the opportunity to attend TechCrunch Disrupt 2024. I think it was the first time I have ever attended a non-security conference.

    I didn’t know what to expect. Everything I knew about Disrupt was from the show Silicon Valley.
