“It was incredibly helpful to engage at Montreat College’s 2016 RETR3AT Cybersecurity Conference with other professionals entrusted as fiduciaries of their firm’s digital assets. The quality of RETR3AT was one I would expect to see in Charlotte, NC. It was also energizing was to see student participation in this visionary field of study.”
