John Sileo is a cybersecurity expert, keynote speaker, and award-winning author known for providing real-world insights into cyber threats. After building a multimillion-dollar software company in the early field of cloud computing, Sileo experienced significant losses to cybercrime that impacted his business and finances, leading to a two-year legal battle. Following his exoneration, Sileo shifted his focus to cybersecurity education, delivering keynotes to organizations such as the Pentagon, Amazon, and Schwab. His presentations incorporate humor, audience interaction, and research on topics including artificial intelligence cybercrime, remote threats, cloud hacking, and deepfakes.

As a recognized voice on the human elements of cybersecurity, Sileo addresses issues such as identity theft and data breaches, referencing incidents involving Anthem, Target, and OPM to highlight organizational vulnerabilities. He has appeared on "60 Minutes" and in keynote videos that illustrate the tangible risks of cybercrime. Sileo is noted for making cybersecurity training relevant and engaging, helping organizations avoid becoming victims of high-profile breaches.

Sileo continues to address the growing threat of cybercrime through customized speeches that help teams defend against human-powered attacks.

John Sileo Speaking Topics

Savvy Cybersecurity in a World of Weaponized A.I.

BLOCKBUSTER CYBERSECURITY in a Zero Trust World

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.

Cyber Threats, Trends & Leadership Mid/Post-Pandemic

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 Much of the workforce has gone remote, making old notions of “perimeter security” outdated.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.

How are You VIRTUALLY Engaging Your People in the new Cyber Reality?

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.

Your Financial Practice as Hero: Client Cyber Appreciation Events

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.
