This makes the material directly applicable and creates a much more valuable opportunity for discussion and Q&A based on real infrastructure and business context.
He is also available for recurring speaking programs, including 4–12 talks per year for organizations that want a more advanced, current, and strategically useful alternative to a traditional security awareness program.
