When the Summit was born fourteen years ago, cybersecurity was emerging as an agenda item to consider for the next board meeting, but it wasn’t yet a common corporate or community concern.

• The best way to combat cyber threats is through shared information

• A fast and fruitful incident response requires strong relationships and broad resources

• Solutions and strategies must iterate to keep pace with ever-changing threats
