"Why You Need To Think Like a Hacker"
I take your audience into the world of ethical hacking. I help them experience the wild, unexpected, often shocking stories of both companies who got security right, and those who didn't.
I then extract the key insights from those stories, translating them into advice your audience can go implement. (Much of which, I cover in my #1 bestselling book Hackable).
Your audience will learn exactly what to do, why to do it, and how.
