Speaker alert.
Gabrielle Botbol is not your typical cybersecurity speaker.

She is an offensive security consultant who has spent her career inside the systems most executives only read reports about. Pentester. AI security practitioner. CTO at Mindlock — a company training human discernment against cyber threats using neuroscience and AI. EU CyberNet expert. Top 20 Women in Cybersecurity Canada. Woman Hacker of the Year 2025.

She does not talk about cybersecurity from a safe distance.
At The Ceiba Protocol, Gabrielle brings what no keynote can replicate — the practitioner's perspective on how humans make decisions under threat, and what cognitive agility actually looks like when the attack is live.

October 23–28, 2026. Riviera Maya.
Twenty seats. Invitation-based.

Four burnout profiles. One pattern organizations keep missing.
The people pleaser. The perfectionist. The always-on. The overachiever.

These are not personality quirks. They are adaptive responses to high-pressure environments that reward output and systematically underinvest in recovery.

The research is unambiguous. Chronic high-input, low-recovery cycles reduce decision-making quality, increase error rates, and accelerate executive turnover — at significant cost to organizations.

HR and talent leaders are increasingly recognizing that sustainable performance requires more than resilience training. It requires structured recovery, decision-making frameworks, and environments where high-performing women can reset and rebuild capacity.

The question worth asking is not "which type is she?" It is "what is the organizational cost of not addressing it?"

We built The Ceiba Protocol around that question.
An executive leadership program for women in cybersecurity, technology, and AI. Five days combining continuing professional education, breach simulation, executive recovery, and peer connection — designed around the realities of leading in high-pressure digital environments.

October 23–28, 2026. Riviera Maya.
Invitation-based. Details at on our website.

Most executives are making AI-assisted decisions every day.
Almost none have been given a framework for doing it well.

The problem isn't the tool. It's that no one mapped the skills the tool requires from the human using it.

AI systems are confident by design. They don't signal uncertainty the way a human expert does — which means the skill of knowing when to trust the output, and when not to, now sits entirely with you.

Executives decision-making requires resilience to technostress. There's a protocol for it. Tag a CISO, VP, or founder who is navigating this right now. ↓

Speaker Alert. 🤍

Introducing Myriam Côté, Eng., PhD. — Chief AI & Innovation Officer at Ceiba Law.
Ex-MILA, she has more than forty years of experience in the AI industry and innovation. She's worked with founders and academics, including Yoshua Bengio.

Myriam sits at a rare intersection: the engineering rigor of AI systems and the governance reality executives are now accountable for — whether they understand it or not.

At The Ceiba Protocol, she leads sessions on the decisional dimension of AI. Not AI as a tool. AI as a force that is already reshaping how your organization makes decisions, assigns accountability, and manages risk — often before leadership has been briefed.
This is the conversation most conferences aren't equipped to have.
Myriam is.

Most organizations spend months building the incident response plan.

Very few invest in the person who has to execute it — under real pressure, in real time, when everything is moving faster than the playbook anticipated.

Decision quality under stress is not a given. It degrades. It's biological. And it can be trained.

That's the gap The Ceiba Protocol was built to close — for women executives in technology and cybersecurity who are done with preparation that stops at the document.

Five days. Riviera Maya. October 23–28, 2026.
If this landed — tag a CISO, VP, or founder in your network who needs to see it. ↓

🔒 If you lead a tech or cybersecurity team — this carousel is worth saving.
Most incident response failures are not technical.

They are communication decisions made too slowly. Authority gaps no one resolved before the pressure was live. Executives whose nervous systems were running the wrong protocol at the exact moment clarity mattered most.

The neuroscience behind this is consistent and well-documented: under acute stress, the prefrontal cortex — the region responsible for complex reasoning, consequence mapping, and nuanced judgment — degrades first. You default to the most recently practiced decision, not the best one.

Which means the quality of your breach response is determined not by your playbook, but by whether you have ever actually made those calls before — in conditions that simulate what it feels like when it is real.

We built a carousel that breaks this down slide by slide. Swipe through it, save it, and share it with the CISO, VP, or founder in your network who is planning their next tabletop exercise. 👉

What is The Ceiba Protocol?

A five-day closed-door executive leadership program for women in technology and cybersecurity. Not a conference. Not a retreat. A room where the scenario adapts to your decisions in real time — led by practitioners who have managed actual incidents at the highest level.

Inside the program:
✔ Live adaptive breach simulation — CPE eligible, practitioner-led
✔ Cyber law and legal exposure — what your posture actually looks like under pressure
✔ AI, risk, and executive mandate — what you are still delegating that you will be held accountable for
✔ Decision-making under pressure — the neuroscience of judgment when cortisol is high
✔ Integrated recovery protocol — because you cannot perform at this level without maintaining the system behind the performance

Riviera Maya. October 23–28, 2026.
Invitation-only. 20 executives. Every profile reviewed.

🔒 Speaker Spotlight | The Ceiba Protocol — October 2026

We're introducing Shawn Ford, Lead Breach Coach at Ceiba Law — and one of the practitioners behind the most intense session at The Ceiba Protocol: Decision Making Under Breach.

Most tabletop exercises are run from a slide deck, in a room full of people who already know the script.

Shawn's session is different. The scenario is live. It adapts in real time to the decisions the group makes. And the debrief is led by someone who has managed actual data breach responses at the highest organizational level.

Inside this session:
✔ Live tabletop simulation — adaptive, closed-door, CPE eligible
✔ Legal exposure — what your posture actually looks like in the first 72 hours
✔ The neuroscience of high-stakes decisions — why your judgment degrades precisely when it matters most
✔ Communication under pressure — what to say, to whom, and when

Why does this belong at The Ceiba Protocol?
Because a breach doesn't wait. And the executives who respond best aren't the ones who know the most — they're the ones who've pressure-tested their decisions in a safe room before the real one arrives.

The Ceiba Protocol is a 5-day executive leadership program exclusively for women in tech and cybersecurity. Riviera Maya, October 23–28, 2026.
10+ hours of CPE-eligible content. Breach coaching. Keynotes from world-class practitioners. Integrated wellness protocol. Twenty seats. Invitation-based.
This is not a conference. This is not a corporate wellness day. This is the room you've been waiting for.
