TURNING A HUGE NEGATIVE INTO AN EVEN BIGGER
POSITIVE

By taking ownership and working with customers, you will lead by example.

Well, on that day, one of those companies was Intel Corp.: 70,000 computers wiped out.
Employees had to stand in line in the cafeteria for days to get their computers fixed. Three
days of being down. Well, Intel is an amazing company. Instead of being a victim, they
took action, working with McAfee to design a semiconductor-based architecture to never
let that happen again.

Three months later, not a single customer had sued McAfee. In fact, customers spent more
money with them and their stock recovered, and a mere two months later, Intel acquired
McAfee for a record $7.7 billion, the largest all-cash transaction in the history of high
tech. You see, David learned and continues to share this lesson with others – the most
valuable of them all – Honesty.

Leadership lessons of life. Be present. Always alive. Live life on the edge of tears.

“Honesty — it’s a powerful attribute in a crisis. Hard-work, humility and honesty. The 3Hs
are the foundation of my success,” said David DeWalt.

Many of you might remember how David DeWalt became CEO of Fireeye in 2012 and
took it public in 2013. He and his team continued to build a multi-billion dollar valued
business and even acquired Mandiant, whose founder, Kevin Mandia, is now running
Fireeye. Today, Fireeye has revenues annually over $300m and assets over $2.5B.

SUMMING UP THE PAST, PREDICTING OUR CYBER
DEFENSE FUTURE
Building out the first Cybersecurity Platform from Inception to Exit

So, Dr. David G. DeWalt has more than 30 years of experience in the industry – over 20
years in high tech and 17 years as a CEO, as he says “68 quarters of executive leadership
has given me a front row seat – it’s my love, my passion – it’s not just a job – I feel lucky
and blessed.” With these blessings and successes, Dr. David G. DeWalt has taken a bird’s
eye view of what happened in the past, what’s happening today and predicting where we
need to be in the very near future. His main driving concern is that the lack of visibility
continues to dramatically increase the risk and severity of the breaches. This also opens
up a new world of investment opportunities in cyber defense innovations.
