Over 34 years at @NASA, astronaut Rex Walheim launched aboard three space flights, installed key components of the @Space_Station, served as chief of spacewalking, and much more. Breakfast at @NASA_Johnson was such an honor, and a reminder to us all: dare to dream.

The @wef's Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2024 is well worth the read. When I first met @ayampolskiy and Sam Kassoumeh, they were launching @security_score to address precisely these sorts of cybersecurity challenges, so it's fitting for them to be featured in the report.

[World Economic Forum @wef]

This year’s @wef Global Cybersecurity Outlook provides crucial insights into the multifaceted challenges facing leaders across the globe.

Faced with geopolitical instability and new technologies, businesses and governments must work together to address the most pressing #cybersecurity challenges. @Accenture #wef24
