Cybersecurity Leadership That Cuts Through the Noise

Cybersecurity conversations often sound the same—overly technical, complicated, and disconnected from real-world impact.

Speaking Topics

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI Mastery for Executives: How to Mitigate Adversarial Risk and Win AI is the dual-use dilemma of our decade—a force multiplier for productivity and a sophisticated weapon for attackers. Dewayne provides a high-stakes roadmap for Secure AI Adoption, moving beyond the hype to address the governance challenges of 2026. This session covers defending against adversarial machine learning, managing “Shadow AI” risks, and building ethical frameworks that allow your organization to innovate without handing the keys to AI-orchestrated threats.

Business and Cyber Strategy

Transforming Cybersecurity from Risk Management to Business Value Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical necessity—it’s a strategic business enabler. In this session, Dewayne provides C-Suite leaders with a practical roadmap to transform cybersecurity into a measurable business solution and also understand “The Big Picture”. Attendees will learn how to align cyber risk with organizational objectives, drive operational resilience, and turn security programs into competitive advantages. They will leave with strategies to improve boardroom relationships.

Workforce and Talent

Building Elite Cyber Teams: A Mission-First Approach to Retention and Burnout The war for cyber talent isn’t just about recruitment—it’s about mission readiness. Dewayne introduces the Mission-First Retention Framework to help leaders identify non-traditional talent, automate energy-draining compliance tasks, and build resilient teams that treat organizational security as a personal mission. Executives will gain actionable strategies to retain top cyber professionals, reduce burnout, and align workforce performance with mission-critical objectives.

Leadership and Readiness

How C-Suites Can Command the Digital Battlespace and Secure Readiness
Cybersecurity leadership is the decisive factor in enterprise readiness. Drawing on 20 years of high-stakes operational experience, Dewayne replaces reactive approaches with proactive Readiness Posture. This session equips C-Suite leaders to break down technical silos and command their digital battlespace with precision. Executives will master strategic risk management and rapid decision-making using field-tested frameworks, ensuring they maintain operational control and protect enterprise value long before a digital crisis unfolds.

Human Behavior and Culture

Human Firewall 2.0: Turning People into the First Line of Defense Traditional security awareness programs create compliance—but not protection. In today’s threat environment of AI-driven phishing, deepfakes, and hyper-targeted social engineering, passive training leaves organizations exposed. This session explores how to shift from awareness to activation by embedding a defender’s mindset across the workforce. Attendees will learn how to turn everyday employees into active participants in risk detection and response, creating a culture where security is instinctive, measurable, and mission aligned.

Cyber Threat Resilience

How to Reduce Vulnerabilities and Counter Cyber Threats
Perimeter defense alone is no longer enough. This session explores Active Resilience, showing how detection engineering, automated vulnerability management, and secure-by-design protocols proactively counter attacker aggression. Attendees will learn how to reduce vulnerabilities, respond effectively to incidents, and implement self-healing systems that detect threats early, remediate weaknesses in real time, and enforce resilient security patterns—creating a cyber ecosystem that is both secure and adaptive to the evolving threat landscape.
