Keynote Speaking
Security talks your audience will actually remember
Story-driven keynotes that turn complex security topics into clear, actionable insight — for boardrooms, security teams, and everyone in between. Real war stories from decades on the front lines, not recycled slideware.
The difference
A world-renowned speaker — and a true storyteller
Plenty of experts can inform a room. Very few can hold one. I've keynoted the world's biggest security stages, and I bring that same craft to your event: complex, high-stakes security turned into stories your audience genuinely remembers. My range is the real differentiator — I brief boards of directors on enterprise risk one day and train technical teams on binary analysis the next. From the boardroom to the binary — DC to daylight — I meet your audience exactly where they are, and take them somewhere new.
