<ul><li><strong>Savvy Cybersecurity in a World of Weaponized A.I.</strong></li><li>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.</li><li><strong>Blockbuster Cybersecurity in a Zero-Trust World</strong></li><li>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. A faulty adage asserts that humans are your weakest link when they can in reality be your greatest defensive asset. Cybersecurity doesn’t grow from shinier tools, but from the powerful intersection between human beings and technology. In this keynote presentation, John will leverage potent lessons learned from losing everything to cybercrime to help you build a Blockbuster Framework for analyzing, organizing, and communicating a powerful cyber defense strategy.</li><li><strong>The Art of Human Hacking: Social Engineering Self Defense</strong></li><li>Anti-fraud and social engineering training only work when your people experience it for themselves. Humans can be the weakest link or the strongest competitive advantage in the security and profitability of your information. But people are the most underutilized weapon in your fight against cybercrime. Don’t surrender to Death by PowerPoint—training needs to be engaging to be effective. This presentation makes security interactive, so that it sticks. John will use his own losses to social engineering to illustrate the tools and tricks used to separate you from your critical data, including System 1 and 2 reflexes, social media harvesting, trust shortcuts, ego stroking, greed appeals, and cortisol flushing. By the time he gets to his closing story, your audience will be fully empowered to detect and deter social engineering and fraud.</li><li><strong>Building a Bulletproof Culture of Security</strong></li><li>To avoid becoming the next disastrous data breach headline, you must foster a healthy culture of security that addresses both the technological and human elements of data defense. Change happens when you create energy and buy-in among the people who handle your mission-critical information. When it comes to the latest data security threats, you can’t possibly do everything—but you must do the <em>right</em> things. This cyber security training crash course forges a high-level, non-technical path through the often-confusing web cybersecurity. This highly interactive presentation builds on John’s experience losing everything to cybercrime, continues with a live hacking demo of an audience member and ends with an actionable Roadmap of Next Steps.</li></ul><p><br></p>
