T.J. has taken the stage at major cybersecurity conferences, including RSAC, the world's largest Cybersecurity conference.
He's also a familiar voice at BSides, ISSA, ISACA, and regional security events across the Midwest.
Influencing Cyber Culture.
Changing culture is hard, and technology alone won't do it. It takes emotional intelligence. In this talk, business leaders and technology professionals learn how to turn everyday cybersecurity work - risk assessments, controls, the things you're already doing - into a lever for shaping culture. It's an angle you won't hear anywhere else.
"I never realized end users could actually get a dopamine hit from reporting security issues. Hearing the case for being a 'social' IT person, someone who builds relationships outside the department, was eye-opening." - Conference Attendee
Cyber Risk for Business Leaders.
The reality is there are naked risks all around us — in our businesses, our nonprofits, and our personal lives. Most people have heard of the "dark web," but few understand it, and fewer still know what it actually means for them.
In this talk, we'll pull back the curtain on the criminal underground — an entire underground economy you never knew existed, where attackers compete for your customers' data. Then we'll get practical: you'll leave with insights you can take back to your team and your family and put to work the same day.
"That's scary! I had no idea these things were possible. And I appreciated how simple you made it. You gave me a clear way to manage a major piece of my business's cyber risk." - Business Owner
