Keynote speaker and cybersecurity evangelist Howard Globus brings a healthy dose of skepticism, adds a bit of sarcasm, and underpins it with three decades of real-world business and technology experience.

After more than 30 years of working with data and IT, Howard knows what’s not in the documentation — and what to do about it. He is driven to share this cyber-safety knowledge to help small and medium-size businesses grow and build without huge expenditures, whether they pave roads, educate students or crunch numbers.

Employing his characteristic dry humor and a razor-sharp wit, Howard takes complex topics and breaks them into usable, understandable, informational chunks. His keynotes become meaningful, interactive conversations during which he engages his audience to explore the current zeitgeist around cybersecurity and to ensure their business drives their technology — not the other way around. Audiences gain time-tested tools and cutting-edge insights for maintaining secure systems while staying up-to-date on new developments as they grow.

Usability, compliance, security, cost-effectiveness: Howard shares real-world examples, solid solutions and regulatory how-tos — all without scaring the bejesus out of anyone.
