John Sileo, CSP, CPAE

Cybersecurity Expert & Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker

John Sileo is a renowned cybersecurity expert, award-winning author, and keynote speaker whose personal journey from successful entrepreneur to victim of cybercrime has made him a leading voice on protecting personal and organizational data.

After leaving a high-tech consulting career to start a software startup during the early days of cloud computing, John built a multimillion-dollar business. However, his success was shattered when a company insider committed cybercrimes using John’s identity, ultimately destroying his business and wealth. Not only was John held legally and financially responsible for the crimes, but he also spent two years fighting to stay out of jail while rebuilding his life.

Now, as CEO & President of The Sileo Group, a Denver-based technology think tank, John uses his hard-earned lessons to help organizations understand and defend against the human element of cybersecurity. His powerful keynote addresses—delivered to the Pentagon, Schwab, and thousands of audiences worldwide—are a blend of humor, audience interaction, and cutting-edge research designed to engage and educate on the importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital age.

A graduate of Harvard University, John is also a member of the National Speakers Hall of Fame and has appeared on 60 Minutes. When he’s not on stage, he enjoys hiking in the Rocky Mountains with his family, reading psychological thrillers, and training in Taekwondo, where he proudly holds a 3rd-degree black belt—despite being regularly outmatched by teenagers half his size.
