Simply Solving Cyber - John Sileo

Simply Solving Cyber

On this episode, we talk to John Sileo, who became a cybersecurity expert (the hard way). John Sileo left hi-tech consulting and became an entrepreneur to reclaim his greatest priority - being present, every day, for his wife Mary and their dream of starting a family. Six successful years, a $2M business and two precious daughters later, he lost it all to cybercrime.
Because the cyber criminal, a company insider, masked the crimes using John’s identity, John was held legally and financially responsible for the felonies committed. The losses destroyed his company, decimated his finances and consumed two years of his family life as he fought to stay out of jail. John shares his entire story from stage.
John has molded his first-hand experiences into a string of successes as an award-winning author, 60 Minutes guest and keynote speaker to the Pentagon, Schwab and thousands of audiences ready to take concrete action on cyber security, digital privacy and tech/life balance.
