Her insight into ICS security comes from her years of experience working for US Air Force, Space Operations Centre and Corporate firms. Her experience highlights the necessity of practical knowledge, Social Networking, communication and continuous education. Her experience allows her to share real world incidents and helps us understand the importance of each.

Through the interview she has made it evidently clear the huge demand for security in so many domains never thought before due to the introduction of IT and IoT for easier access and operation in more and more fields. We now know with her insight that this field is dominated by creative minds who are ready to think out of box techniques and that includes artists as well and not just IT professionals. Any background can find a place for themselves as long as they are ready to add practical knowledge and dedicate themselves to continuous education. However what good is an interview that talks of just problems and no solution? Ms.Kubecka has put forward many ways of dealing with emerging problems by providing examples implemented in Netherland railways and Japan’s preparation for the Olympics.
