Dive into the essentials of cybersecurity with JANE LUTE, who has led global cybersecurity efforts as a member of the CIS Board of Directors, Strategic Director for SICPA North America, and board member of Union Pacific Railroad, Marsh McLennan, and Royal Dutch Shell.

Homeland Security and You
Cybersecurity expert JANE LUTE leads an insightful presentation on homeland security, exploring the pivotal role individuals and communities play in maintaining national safety and resilience against emerging threats.
Created a dozen years ago in the wake of 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has no problem with brand name recognition. It is continually challenged, however, with brand name understanding. Lute explores the following questions:
Preventing Violent Conflict: How Do Wars End?
Pandemics, natural disasters, manmade crises, riots, organized crime, war. How do countries cope with challenges that seem to outsize the ability of any government to handle?
Drawing on an accomplished career of operational and policy experience at the national and international level, JANE LUTE talks about how governments around the world work behind the scenes of military and diplomatic relations to solve problems every day.
The Role of Technology and Innovation in Global Peace Operations
Global cybersecurity executive JANE LUTE shares the transformative impact of technology and innovation on global peacekeeping efforts, highlighting cutting-edge solutions that enhance mission effectiveness and stability.
While security is typically something that modern societies assign to their governments — governments run the police, the military, make the laws, etc. — there have been no clear or consistent assignments to governments for security in cyberspace. Indeed, governments everywhere are struggling to define and assert their own proper role in cyberspace as the Internet expands at the rate of over 100 new users per minute. How well are nation-states, international institutions, or even the major multinational corporations coping with these developments?
Leadership & Women in the Workforce
Cybersecurity expert and leading global executive JANE LUTE discusses the challenges, achievements, and future opportunities for gender equality and empowerment in professional settings. With a career of managing complex crises and organizational change, Lute offers practical advice and strategies for leading through uncertainty and turbulence.
