Once named one of the World’s Top 5 Most Notorious Hackers after breaking into a nuclear weapons facility and then working covertly for the US DoD and FBI for a number of years, Greg Van Der Gaast is not short of humourous and engaging stories. But what really captivates audiences is his easily understandable yet radical and deeply thought provoking approach to security that is suitable for all audiences from university students to Fortune 200 boardrooms.
Greg Van Der Gaast is the best-Selling Author of “Rethinking Infosec” and “What We Call Security”, a former CISO and Chief Technologist at the world’s largest VAR, CDW.

Whether it’s helping businesses achieve more from their security investments, providing vendors with powerful new business narratives around their products, or just entertaining and enlightening audiences with refreshing ideas, Greg is unlikely to disappoint.
