Toronto hosts arguably one of the best (and biggest) hacking conferences in the world. Canada’s DEF CON is a great experience. I presented in-person there, pre-COVID. Seems like a bazillion years ago.

“A Few Things Right: Insights from Live & Simulated Incident Response Failures“ –> SecTor – October 2019, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, ON, Canada
My young son joined me onstage once at CircleCityCon and it will always be a highlight.
“A Few Things Right: Insights from Live & Simulated Incident Response Failures“ –> MacTech – November 2018, Crowne Plaza and Marina, Redondo Beach, CA, USA
I enjoy hacking conferences because there may be no better place to challenge whatever I think I know and learn from nuanced and gifted communities (villages) that are generally supportive, always curious, and wildly creative.
“Dear InfoSec: You Want Ketchup With That?” –> BSides Chicago – May 2018, Chicago Hilton, Chicago, IL, USA
Part of establishing a common view is sharing stories that broaden perspective, which is a reslience-engineering practice, building atmospheres, environments that nudge diverse audiences towards good habits that reduce preventable risks to business as well as personal orbits of friends and loved ones.

“InfoSec Needs Better UX: Blame TV Dinners” –> IIA/ISACA Cyber Security & Hacker Conference – September 2018, SwissĂ´tel, Chicago, IL, USA
