Leadership Series - The Human Firewall: Mental Health in an Always-On Technology World led by Global CISO Jerry Fowler

Event Description:

As technology accelerates, the mental and emotional load placed on those who build, operate, and defend our systems has quietly reached unsustainable levels. Join us for a discussion, The Human Firewall: Mental Health in an Always-On Technology World.

In this talk, Jerry explores mental health in technology not as a personal shortcoming or resilience issue, but as a systems design challenge. Drawing from real-world leadership experience, we’ll examine how constant connectivity, alert-driven work, and cultural expectations impact decision-making, well-being, and long-term performance. 

The session reframes mental health as a critical operational concern and offers a grounded, practical lens for leaders who want to build environments where people can perform at a high level without burning out in silence.
