2/ Christian shares why the DEF CON Franklin community means so much: "Being part of a community where water utility staff and hackers collaborate makes volunteering especially meaningful."

4/ Think Ben Franklin’s first volunteer fire brigades, but for water cybersecurity: trained volunteers matched with utilities, focused on practical basics first (MFA, backups, passwords), then scaling up.
