John Sileo left hi-tech consulting for two reasons: to start a family and to launch a software startup in the earliest stages of cloud computing. Six successful years, a multimillion-dollar business and two precious daughters later, he lost the business and his wealth to cybercrime.
Because the cybercriminal, a company insider, masked the crimes using Sileo’s identity, Sileo was held legally and financially responsible for the felonies committed. The losses destroyed his company, decimated his finances and consumed two years of his personal life as he fought to stay out of jail.
Sileo has shared his story and hard-earned lessons as an award-winning author, 60 Minutes guest and keynote speaker to the Pentagon, Schwab and thousands of audiences ready to defend their data. Sileo specializes in the human element of cyber security and uses humor, audience interaction and cutting-edge research to keep his message relevant and entertaining.
Sileo is CEO & President of The Sileo Group, a Denver-based technology think tank. He graduated with honors from Harvard University and was recently inducted into the National Speakers Hall of Fame.
When not speaking, Sileo spends time hiking with his family in the Rocky Mountains, reading psychological thrillers and earning his 3rd-degree black belt in Taekwondo, where he is regularly thrashed by teenagers half his size.
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, in reality, they can 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.
The rules of cybercrime have changed. Much of the workforce has gone remote, making old notions of “perimeter security” outdated. Cybercriminals are leveraging panic and crisis to fuel and fund social engineering schemes, ransomware attacks and core-systems hacking. Cloud computing, virtual meetings and Zoomhacking now play an increasingly critical role in our daily workspace. Now, more than ever, we need to keep our eye on threats and trends beyond the current crisis. In this virtual presentation, John shares the latest vulnerabilities and solutions affecting cyberspace as we adjust personally and professionally to our new environment.
Cybercriminals, Identity thieves, and scammers love to exploit a crisis. While our attention is focused elsewhere (e.g., COVID-19 and the economy), hackers take advantage of the new software we are using (Zoom), highly-profitable scams (fake stimulus payment sites) and our general sense of panic and confusion. Taking smart steps to protect your identity, devices, online accounts and the wealth they connect to is more critical than ever. In this webinar, cybersecurity author and expert John Sileo, you will leave with concrete tools to protect what is rightfully yours, now and long after the crisis recedes.
No one is in a better position to educate financial customers about protecting their identity and net worth than you are. This speech is aimed at Financial Providers looking to: Create massive goodwill with customers by eliminating their risk of ID theft; Host a financial wellness seminar to reward customer loyalty & drive prospects; Utilize current events and hot topics to encourage client clicks and behavior change; Add value by minimizing your customer’s financial risk footprint.
A feel-good, highly-educational speech for the customers of financial providers interested in delivering value-added services to complement their current offerings.
Fraud training works best when it happens in person. Give your people a chance to experience social engineering in person so that they recognize the real thing. This speech incorporates live-training and is aimed at Organizations looking to: Educate their entire staff on anti-social-engineering tactics; Understand manipulation tools like cortisol flushing and coat tailing; Build a reflex-response habit to detect and deter social engineering; Provide a Deep Dive “Part II” to any of John’s other presentations.
An in-the-audience, live-interaction speech for any organization looking to eliminate their #1 source of data theft and make their people their greatest defense asset.
