I met Monica at the Nordic IT Security conference in Stockholm. Her talk was so well received she was asked to do it twice! The subject was adaptive security. She is very passionate has a great speaking style and her content is well thought out and unique. After the conference, we debated the merits of adaptive security and how the model can be utilized in several areas. I look forward to working with her more in the future.
