A curated 3+1 shortlist for Cybersecurity & Digital Trust speakers.

Here’s an example of how Scurati cuts through the noise and delivers precise speaker matches for real events.

Cybersecurity & Digital Trust Keynote Speakers – Curated Insights & Example Shortlist

Cybersecurity is no longer a technical topic — it is a board-level priority and a critical pillar of operational resilience. With attacks increasing in frequency and sophistication, organizations face persistent threats from ransomware, identity compromise, data breaches, nation-state actors, and rapidly evolving AI-enabled exploits.

On top of this, customers and regulators expect companies to demonstrate trust, transparency, and robust governance around data and digital infrastructure. Security is now inseparable from brand reputation, regulatory compliance, and business continuity.

This makes Cybersecurity & Digital Trust keynote speakers essential for IT leaders, compliance teams, risk officers, and cross-functional groups. They demystify threats, offer practical controls, and deliver frameworks for readiness.

At Scurati, we don’t show catalogues. Instead, we generate a tailored 3+1 shortlist based on your event goals, audience, and desired impact. Below is a sample shortlist, demonstrating the clarity and precision you can expect.

Example Briefing (for this Sample Shortlist)

We’re hosting an on-site security conference and need an English-speaking expert keynote speaker on Cybersecurity and Digital Trust. Audience: IT leaders, compliance specialists and risk officers. Desired impact: raise awareness, strengthen cyber readiness, and help the audience understand emerging threats.

Paula Januszkiewicz

CEO, CQURE Inc. | Security Expert, Penetration Tester & Trainer | Microsoft MVP & Regional Director

Paula reveals how attackers exploit identity, endpoint, and cloud misconfigurations—and how to close those gaps fast. Through demo-driven stories from real penetration tests, she translates technical risk into business and compliance impact. She highlights pragmatic controls, hardening priorities, and monitoring tactics that measurably increase resilience. Attendees leave with a “fix-first” action list and a clear view of common pitfalls in hybrid and Microsoft-heavy environments.

Why Scurati recommends her: Perfect for IT leaders and compliance specialists wanting immediately actionable guidance tied to standards and audits. Her keynote can flow into a live poll or tabletop conversation on incident roles and responsibilities.

He deconstructs recent high-profile incidents and supply chain compromises, surfacing what would have changed the outcome. Expect clear guidance on detection engineering, response playbooks, and resilience patterns for an “assume breach” world.

Christian Toon

Chief Information Security Officer

Core Message:
Christian focuses on board-ready cyber resilience: how to quantify risk, align security with business objectives, and stress-test ransomware and data-loss scenarios. He shares lessons from guiding large enterprises pre- and post-breach, including operating model design, role clarity, and governance that accelerates decisions under pressure. He teaches how to talk about security posture in plain language for executives and regulators.

Why Scurati recommends him:
Ideal for compliance specialists and risk officers who need governance and reporting approaches, not just tools. He sets the room up for incident response agreement-setting and concrete 90-day improvements.

The +1 Wildcard

The Wildcard highlights a speaker who sits slightly outside the obvious choices — someone who brings a fresh angle, unexpected perspective, or different energy to the topic. While the other three recommendations are direct, high-fit matches based on your briefing, the Wildcard is intentionally more exploratory.
It introduces a speaker who can spark new thinking, shift the room’s mindset, or elevate the experience in a surprising way.
Often, this “out-of-the-box” voice becomes the most memorable part of the event.

Tony Sales

Fraud & Cyber-Enabled Crime Expert | Former “King of Fraud”

Core Message:
Tony exposes how organised criminals actually plan and execute cyber-enabled financial crime. He walks through social engineering from reconnaissance to cash-out and pinpoints the control gaps that make it work. This insider view helps leaders spot weak links across people, processes, and third parties before attackers do.

Why Scurati recommends him (Wildcard):
As a reformed criminal turned advisor, his perspective jolts awareness and drives behaviour change across technical and non-technical roles. Great as an energizer before a phishing-awareness quiz or risk triage exercise.
