I had the privilege to work with Juanita on an SDP project last year and ZTA this year. In that time, Juanita quickly became a mentor and inspiration to me. Juanita was fearless, innovative, compassionate..., and all-around just an amazing human being. Juanita's energy and spirit were one of a kind.
Condolences to everyone who had the privilege of interacting with Juanita.
You are greatly missed, Juanita.

Our hearts ache hearing the devastating news around Juanita Koilpillai, founder and Co-Chair of the Zero Trust/Software Defined Perimeter Working Group, CEO at Waverly Labs, Consultant to the US Department of Defense, NIST author, and dear friend to many of us in the CSA Community.
Juanita was a rare cybersecurity expert who never hesitated to share her knowledge with others as she had an easy way of explaining complicated concepts. You may have seen her at industry events. She always had a smile and took the time to get to know other professionals around her.
We had a big loss and Jaunita will be greatly missed.
