In terms of cybersecurity, Evan emphasizes the need for vigilance and adaptability. With threats becoming more sophisticated, he explains the importance of early detection and rapid response, particularly in a remote work setting. As the conversation progresses, Evan shares his leadership philosophy, inspired by his military background.
