CYBERSECURITY KEYNOTES:

• Sales Professionals:

Customers are more sophisticated than ever. They want to talk to a sales rep who really understands today’s tough cyber security environment.  They have been promised the “magic” solution too many times and been disappointed as they have watched the breaches continue to occur. A sharp sales rep understands the threat, understands the full range of costs that arise from an attack and can make the ROI argument that will sell your product. Let Brett add depth and expertise to your sales team toolbox with his customized keynote designed to make your sales team stand out from the crowd.

• Senior Business Leaders:

Senior business leaders are being held accountable for managing cyber-risk in their companies. Unfortunately, many executives do not feel comfortable with this responsibility due to their lack of technical background and their limited understanding of cyber. Brett Williams keynote helps close the gap in language, perception and understanding between those charged with strategic business decisions and the people who have technical responsibility for cybersecurity in the company. Each keynote is customized to the audience and includes a discussion of the current threat environment, costs associated with a breach, an executive primer on current cyber defense techniques and their shortfalls and suggestions on how to identify the essential elements of a good cyber defense program.

• Small Business Owners:

Small business owners face the same array of threats as the largest banks on Wall Street.  The same tools and expertise are available to anyone with a little money and access to the dark web. Brett’s keynote will educate small business owners on the threat, the potential costs of a breach and the steps they can take to better protect themselves.  Basic network hygiene, disciplined use of the network, and smart outsourcing to the right providers can significantly reduce your exposure. Brett understands you do not have an “IT staff” nor do you have the time or budget to defend yourself like a big bank.  You will walk out of this presentation with a clear list of action items you can take to make yourself reasonably secure in today’s complex cyber world.

• Cross-generational leadership:

Whether you are in a startup or a Fortune 500 company, if you want to be a successful manager, you have to understand cross-generational leadership.
