Looking for engaging security and tech talks that cut through the noise?

“Tech expert and security legend.”

Dan Walker

Talks that cover what others don’t - free of jargon, buzzwords, and hype.

I speak about the uncomfortable truths behind cyber security: the broken systems we have to rely on, the incentives that shape them, and the human behaviours we ignore for the blinky lights.

Talks which cut through the surface-level to provide real understanding, and maybe a little existential dread, delivered in clear language and with a dash of dry humour to help the message sink in.

Whether it’s a conference, leadership session, or internal event, audiences walk away thinking differently about risk, control, and how we build our modern world.

“A man who is as knowledgeable as he is striking.”

Lewis Lockwood ChCSP

“James was engaging and was very adept at breaking down concepts for even the most casual of cyber audiences to understand.

Crucially, his approach is entertaining which is really how information sticks!”

Why You Should be Giving This Talk

Some (probably false) statistics say that public speaking is more feared than death. It’s also one of the most powerful things you can do to effect change, not to mention being great for your career. All about why others should be doing more speaking.

Reserving the Right to be Wrong

One of the biggest hurdles in security and technology, and honestly most areas of life, is fear of being seen as wrong. Fear of failure prevents people from moving forwards, and forces people to stick to paths they know aren’t right for them. This is all about allowing yourself to be wrong, and the freedom it provides.

Stop Buying New Sh!t

Explaining how to buy the right, effective solutions to address risk for organisations - rather than just the shiniest new money-sink.

This is How the World Ends

For those who just can’t resist a good disaster film, presenting four different plausible end-of-the-world scenarios which arise from insecure technology.

Blame the Parents

A no-holds-barred exploration of how fear, marketing grift, and historical inertia shaped modern cybersecurity—and why we need to burn it down to build something better.
