Welcome to the CTA board of directors. We are delighted to have you on the board. What inspired you to join the CTA board?
I’ve always believed that in cybersecurity, collaboration is our most strategic asset. As cyber threats evolve especially with the exponential rise of AI-driven attacks the importance of real-time sharing becomes even more critical.
CTA represents a principled, actionable approach to threat collaboration. Joining the board allows me to contribute to an alliance that understands the urgency of prevention, especially across increasingly complex hybrid mesh environments.
What do you hope to accomplish as a CTA board member?
My goal is to help CTA sharpen the bridge between intelligence and action. With organizations rapidly adopting AI tools and hybrid infrastructure, our role should be to ensure that defenders are equipped not just with raw data but with contextual, actionable insights.
I hope to support initiatives that help operationalize intelligence within security workflows, reduce response time, and prevent policy disruption caused by fragmented digital ecosystems.
How is CTA different from other sharing activities you’ve seen?
CTA stands out in its ability to combine strategic intent with operational precision. It’s not a passive feed it’s an intelligence mesh of its own, designed for speed, structure, and trust. Especially in the age of AI, where even amateur threat actors can launch highly sophisticated campaigns, CTA’s disciplined framework helps member organizations stay ahead through prevention first practices and structured sharing.
What role do you see CTA playing in today’s cyber threat landscape?
The landscape has shifted dramatically. Threats now move faster than traditional response models can handle. CTA plays a critical role in compressing the detection to defense window. By coordinating intelligence and enabling pre built integrations across platforms, CTA supports a collective defense posture that mirrors the architecture of modern networks distributed, dynamic, and AI augmented. In this reality, we need smarter, integrated security not just more alerts.
Where do you see CTA in 5 years?
In five years, I see CTA evolving into the critical connective tissue among global cybersecurity stakeholders—spanning both public institutions and private organizations. As AI becomes embedded in both offense and defense, CTA can help set the standard for securing local AI models, preventing manipulation, and reducing data exposure risks. Its ability to integrate with best-of-breed solutions, like we do at Check Point through our open platform strategy, will allow it to remain agile, scalable, and impactful.
What motivates you, or who inspires you?
I’m inspired by people who see the whole picture but act on what matters most.
In cybersecurity, that means simplifying complexity without losing nuance. It reminds me that the most effective leaders and defenders are those who combine insights across disciplines just like we do when we design prevention-first systems that scale across network, cloud, and endpoint.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our three kids, and our two dogs. We love playing board games, building LEGO sets or little robots, and going to the beach. These moments help me relax and recharge.
