Danny Akacki is just a storyteller perpetually looking for a stage. He loves nothing more than attending conferences, giving talks, writing blogs, and finding new ways to reach as many people as he can to educate about cybersecurity. For him, there is no greater satisfaction than community building.
Danny has been fortunate enough to spend his career in Defense, learning from some of the best in the business, including teams at Mandiant, GE capital & most recently as a Technology Advocate with Splunk. He loves what he does and the people he gets to do it with.
In this episode, we discuss his mental health journey, adjusting to a new role during COVID-19, finding outlets for stress release, if mental health issues are worse in cybersecurity, neurodiversity, PTSD, and so much more.
