Opening Keynote - Building the Cybersecurity Talent Pool
Thursday April 10, 2025 9:15am - 10:15am ADT
The Cybersecurity industry is facing a critical shortage of skilled talent, as cyberattacks and their costs to businesses increase dramatically. Additionally, these positions are well-paying, interesting, and deeply impactful to society. Unfortunately, swathes of talent are not being reached - from underprivileged communities, to underrepresented minorities, to veterans.

Lesley has been hiring, mentoring, and training cybersecurity talent for over a decade, and runs career and résumé clinics for prospective cybersecurity professionals across the United States. Learn how to select a cybersecurity niche, choose the right training, and seek a balanced and enjoyable cybersecurity career!

Closing Keynote - Inside the Mind of a Social Engineer: Real Attacks, Hard Truths, and What They Mean for Your Organization
Friday April 11, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm ADT
Social engineering isn’t just about tricking people—it’s about understanding how humans think, behave, and make decisions in the moment. As a professional social engineer, Snow has spent her career breaking into buildings, bypassing security measures, and convincing people into handing over sensitive information. Sometimes, she succeeds. Other times, she gets caught. Either way, every engagement can reveal critical security gaps that organizations overlook.

In this keynote, Snow will take you inside the mind of a social engineer, sharing real-world stories, the tactics that work (and why), and the moments where organizations fought back effectively. We’ll also examine a hard truth: traditional security awareness training is failing us. But this isn’t just about her stories - it’s about your security. Throughout the talk, Snow will leave you with critical questions to take back to your organization.
