Speaking Availability

In addition to public speaking, I do private talks for organizations where I can customize everything to your industry or company and use threat intelligence about the attackers that target you. These are great because the material becomes 100% directly relevant, and the opportunity for your team to ask me questions and discuss solutions based on your exact infrastructure is invaluable. I can also do 4-12 talks per year for organizations that want to leverage this as a more cutting-edge version of a security awareness program.
