When an incident hits and the pressure is high, teams rely on preparation, experience, and the people beside them, and leaders shape that readiness long before the phone rings. Tony shares his nontraditional path from engineering and IT support to leading Digital Forensics, Incident Response, and Malware Analysis, and how his view of training shifted from what an individual can learn to what a whole team can become. Attendees will leave with a practical case for pairing formal training with hands-on repetition, multiplying knowledge across the team, and investing in people before they become the person everyone turns to at 2:00 in the morning.
