Signature keynotes

Three talks, calibrated to the room

Every talk adjusts in depth for boards, executives, and technical teams. Each is available as a keynote, a fireside conversation, or a private executive briefing.

Keynote 01

Securing the Systems the World Runs On

Power grids, water systems, and industrial networks were built for uptime, not for adversaries who now target them directly. Alon shows what it takes to defend operational technology, drawn from real deployments rather than theory.

FormatsKeynote, fireside, executive briefing
AudienceBoards, operators, and security teams in energy, water, manufacturing, and transport

What the room leaves with

  • Where IT security playbooks break the moment they meet OT
  • A practical model for visibility across industrial protocols and legacy equipment
  • How to prioritize fixes when you cannot patch or reboot production
Keynote 02

Nation-State Threats, From Headlines to Your Threat Model

State-sponsored operations have moved from data theft to physical disruption, from attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure to global telecom breaches. Alon turns the geopolitics into the specific risks and decisions that belong on an executive agenda.

FormatsKeynote, fireside, executive briefing
AudienceExecutives, boards, and policy stakeholders

What the room leaves with

  • How state-aligned actors actually reach critical infrastructure
  • What the last three years of infrastructure attacks changed for defenders
  • Where to invest before an incident, and what to say when one lands
Keynote 03

Identity at Scale: Machines, Certificates, and the Access You Cannot See

Human logins are no longer the hard part. Alon covers machine and non-human identity, certificate sprawl, and the IAM decisions that keep cloud growth governable, drawing on the CSA guidance he co-authored.

FormatsKeynote, fireside, executive briefing
AudienceSecurity leaders, cloud and platform teams, and identity architects

What the room leaves with

  • Why non-human identities now outnumber people, and what that breaks
  • A workable approach to PKI and certificate lifecycle before it becomes an outage
  • IAM guardrails that scale with cloud adoption instead of fighting it

Also speaks on: building security programs from zero (the CISO playbook), election and democratic infrastructure security (DEF CON Election Village), and the practitioner path from operator to founder.
