Katz College of Science and Health welcomed Julia Kogan Ehrlich for "Cybersecurity, AI & Leadership," a guest lecture on the forces shaping the future of technology.
Julia is a technology leader, angel investor and strategic advisor. A former Major in the IDF's elite Unit 8200, she spent nine years in Israeli intelligence leading large-scale technology and intelligence teams, then five years at BioCatch working with some of the world's largest financial institutions on cybersecurity and digital fraud.
Students and guests heard her perspective on where cybersecurity, AI, entrepreneurship and innovation meet, and what it takes to lead in fields that change this quickly. The evening closed with an interactive Q&A on building a career and making an impact in tech.
"We are so grateful to Julia for sharing her experience and insight with our students," said Sivan Tehila, director of the 's M.S. in Cybersecurity and CEO/Founder of Onyxia Cyber. "Hearing directly from a leader who has worked at the highest levels of intelligence, industry and investing gives our students a clear picture of what's possible in these fields."
Thank you, Julia, for an inspiring evening, and thank you to everyone who joined us!
