Dan Lohrmann Keynote Topics
Drawing from his bestselling book Cyber Mayday and the Day After and decades of frontline leadership, Lohrmann shares real-world case studies from C-level executives who navigated catastrophic cyber incidents. This keynote covers what leaders wish they had known before a crisis, how to build and test a cyber response playbook, the role of communication and coordination with vendors and law enforcement, and how executive media responses can either preserve or shatter public trust. Audiences leave with a practical framework for crisis preparedness that extends well beyond the IT department.
From water systems to the electric grid, critical infrastructure faces an unprecedented convergence of AI-powered threats, nation-state attacks, and expanding digital attack surfaces. Lohrmann draws on his experience advising the White House, DHS, and state government agencies to explain how AI is transforming both offensive and defensive cybersecurity, what the latest threat intelligence reveals about adversary tactics, and what practical steps leaders must take to protect essential services. This session is ideal for executives navigating the intersection of cybersecurity policy, technology modernization, and national security.
Each year, Lohrmann reviews and ranks hundreds of cybersecurity prediction reports from the world's leading firms and analysts. In this keynote, he distills those findings into the trends that matter most — from the rise of agentic AI in cyberattacks and the evolving ransomware ecosystem to quantum computing risks and the shifting regulatory landscape. Leaders leave with a clear picture of what is coming, what their peers are prioritizing, and which strategic investments will have the greatest impact on resilience.
What are the biggest concerns for today's cybersecurity leaders, and what actions are they taking? Lohrmann shares insights from conversations with hundreds of CISOs and senior security executives across government and industry, covering topics including the cybersecurity skills gap, AI governance, budget pressures, cloud security maturity, and the evolving CISO role in the boardroom. This session offers a candid, peer-level perspective on the state of cyber defense and a roadmap for building organizational resilience.
