Dalton Young Joins NCS CTI Forum Lunch & Learn on Turning Intelligence into Action

Connecting information with action

ORLANDO, Florida, October 30, 2026. Dalton Young, Founder & CEO of Desra Group and Super Connector connecting government, industry, and business, attended the CTI Forum Lunch & Learn at the National Center for Simulation (NCS).

Sergio Heker of GLESEC led a discussion on turning cyber threat intelligence into operational execution. The conversation highlighted a leadership challenge that extends well beyond cybersecurity: information creates value when people use it to make decisions, manage risk, and take action.

A leadership conversation across industries

Whether in defense, healthcare, technology, simulation, or the public sector, having information is only part of the equation. Leaders must connect what they know with the priorities, people, and practical decisions that shape their organizations' work.

For Desra Group, that connection between technical understanding and leadership action is central to meaningful industry relationships. Listening to these conversations helps Dalton better understand the challenges organizations face and the capabilities being developed to address them.

Building relationships in Central Florida

The Lunch & Learn provided an opportunity to spend time with others across Central Florida's government and industry community. Dalton's ongoing presence at conferences, association programs, and industry events reflects his focus on building relationships through conversation and a deeper understanding of the people behind the work.

Desra Group thanks the National Center for Simulation, Sergio Heker, and everyone involved in bringing the discussion together.
