We’re proud to announce that Patrick Kelley’s session at RSAC™ 2025, titled “Mental Health In Cybersecurity: Balancing the Scales ”, has officially been recognized as a Top-Rated Session of the conference.
Mental health remains one of the most underdiscussed but deeply felt issues in our industry. Patrick's session cut through the noise, bringing raw vulnerability and lived experience to the stage—and it resonated.
Here’s what attendees had to say:
“One of the best talks on burnout in the cybersecurity sector I have ever attended.”
“Absolutely best session of the conference so far!”
The session emphasized the importance of boundaries, balance, and breaking the silence:
“This presentation caused me to take a hard look at how I interact with my team and reflect on past missteps and how I could better approach those in the future.”
This wasn’t just another conference talk. It was a shared moment of reflection and connection—a reminder that the people behind the keyboards matter.
“Patrick was phenomenal.”
We’re proud of Patrick’s continued leadership in helping shape a healthier, more sustainable cybersecurity industry.
