CyberGuy
This speaker believes in giving back to the cybersecurity community, probably because they've seen what happens when we don't during their time as a former fed and military veteran. With over 20 years spent navigating the digital battlefield, their insights into CTI and cybersecurity are battle-tested and forged in real-world scenarios. From the serious business of threat hunting to the lively (and occasionally chaotic) halls of security conferences, they've learned that shared knowledge is our strongest defense. They've likely volunteered at more security events than they've had regulation haircuts (which is saying something, considering they literally sport a mohawk). Their experiences are seasoned with the wisdom of countless late nights, passionate debates, and a healthy dose of non-conformity.
Sessions
Let’s be real: your resume isn’t getting you the job. It’s just the ticket into the arena. The real boss battle? The interview itself. FIGHT!
This session is for anyone who’s ever left an interview and thought, “Well… that could’ve gone better.” We’re skipping the slide deck (except for some juicy memes) and jumping straight into battle-tested, no-BS advice on how to stand out in interviews and actually get hired. Whether you’re a brand new SOC analyst, a mid-career pivot-er, or someone who’s been ghosted more times than a mall perfume salesman - this talk is for you.
It’s not death by PowerPoint.
It’s a conversation.
With memes. Come laugh, learn, and leave ready to be the candidate they remember.
The cybersecurity industry thrives on innovation but exploits its workforce - regardless of seniority of an employee. As corporations strip away protections and consolidate power, cybersecurity and IT professionals must fight back - through unions. This talk explores the urgent need for cybersecurity workers to organize, the challenges we face in unionizing, and how we can build a coalition to push for fair wages, job security, and ethical workplace conditions. Whether by supporting existing unions or launching new movements, it’s time to act. The fight isn’t just for blue-collar workers - white-collar cyber professionals need collective power too. Now is the time.
