Keynotes
Keynote by John Sileo: Savvy Cybersecurity in a World of Weaponized A.I.
Artificial Intelligence makes hacking your organization easier. Generative A.I. models evolved from ChatGPT give novice cybercriminals free tools to code malware, create adaptive ransomware, and author sophisticated phishing emails around the clock. Deepfake videos imitate people in power to manipulate your performance, profits and reputation while disinformation campaigns blur the lines of trust. And quantum computing is about to render current defenses nearly useless. Are you prepared? While technology is also part of the solution, it is not the primary answer to the quiz. In this keynote, cyber expert John Sileo leverages his experience of losing everything to cybercrime to bridge the security gap between human beings, technology and rapidly emerging threats.
Keynote by John Sileo: Blockbuster Cybersecurity in a Zero-Trust World
Hackers don’t just adapt to change; they bank on it. Has your mindset evolved? The rapid expansion of remote workforces, ransomware gangs, cloud jacking, IoT hacking, supply chain attacks, social engineering and disinformation campaigns have altered the way we must defend our data, reputation, and profits. Cybersecurity doesn’t grow from shinier tools, but from the powerful intersection between humans and technology. In this keynote, John leverages potent lessons learned from losing everything to cybercrime and decades of real-world experience to build a Blockbuster Framework for analyzing, organizing, and communicating your powerful cyber defense strategy.
Keynote by John Sileo: The Art of Human Hacking: Social Engineering Self Defense
Anti-fraud and social engineering training only work when your people experience it first-hand. Humans can be the weakest link or the strongest competitive advantage in the security of your information. But people are often the most underutilized weapon in your fight against cybercrime. In this keynote, John shares his own losses at the hands of social engineering to illustrate the tools and tricks used to separate you from your critical data, including: System 1 & 2 reflexes, social media harvesting, trust shortcuts, ego stroking, greed appeals, and cortisol flushing. By John’s closing story, you will be fully empowered to detect and deter social engineering and fraud.
Keynote by John Sileo: Building a Bulletproof Culture of Security: A Crash Course for Business Leaders
To avoid becoming the next disastrous data-breach headline, you must foster a culture of security that addresses both the technological and human elements of data defense. Change happens when you create buy-in among the people who handle your mission-critical information. You can’t possibly do everything, so you must do the right things. This crash course forges a high-level, non-technical path through cybersecurity. It is a highly interactive presentation that leverages John’s first-hand experience of losing everything to cybercrime, continues with a live hacking demo of an audience member’s smartphone and ends with a Blockbuster Framework of Leadership Next Steps.
