Join the Silicon Valley ISSA community, in collaboration with the Pacific Hackers Association, for a special screening of I Am Machine, a thought-provoking documentary that explores the intersection of human identity, technology, and cybersecurity. The film follows the life and work of Len Noe, a white hat hacker and transhuman who has embedded multiple bio implants into his body.

Agenda
​5:30 to 6:00 In-person networking
6:00 to 6:15 ISSA chapter business
6:15 to 7:00 Film screening followed by Q&A
7:00 to 8:00 Food and refreshments

​I Am Machine examines what happens when technology moves from something we use to something we become. Through Len’s personal story, the film raises timely questions around ethics, human enhancement, privacy, and security in a future where humans and machines increasingly merge.

​The documentary premiered in 2025 at cybersecurity focused events including DEF CON related gatherings and Hacker Halted, and has since been featured in international documentary showcases.

​Len Noe is a Technical Evangelist, ethical hacker, and internationally recognized transhumanism expert with more than 30 years of experience in technology and security. He has spoken in over 60 countries and briefed governments and global security organizations.
​Len is the author of Human Hacked My Life and Lessons as the World’s First Augmented Ethical Hacker and co-host of the Cyber Cognition Podcast. He currently uses 11 microchip implants as part of his research into human augmentation and cybersecurity risk. His work bridges offensive security, system architecture, and the evolving risks of human-integrated technology.
