**9:00am - 1st Speaker - CSG-Cyber**

* *Bio: Tyler Ward is a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and the Joint Task Force Horn of Africa. He has a distinguished background as a former Air Force cyber operations asset and U.S. Intelligence Agency professional. As an active CISO, Forbes Technology Council contributor, and published author, Tyler has responded to over 180 data breaches, prevented $450 million in ransomware payments, and ethically hacked over 250 companies. He holds an MBA, a Bachelor’s in Information Security, and top certifications like CISSP, GCIH, and GSEC.*
* *Discussion Abstract: Effectively communicating cyber risks to the board goes beyond sharing metrics and vulnerabilities. Board members need a balanced narrative that highlights not just challenges but also measurable progress in cybersecurity and data privacy initiatives. Overloading them with technical details can lead to disengagement or even potential legal exposure in the event of a breach. By framing discussions around business impact, strategic improvements, and ongoing resilience efforts, cyber leaders can foster informed decision-making, build trust, and align cybersecurity strategies with the organization's broader objectives.*

**10:00am - 2nd Speaker - Interactive Terminal Consultants, Inc.**

* *Bio: Michael Anderson, a former Navy intelligence officer with 21 years of service, transitioned to civilian life as a consultant, holding roles such as an exercise planner with USSOCOM and a cybersecurity consultant for global firms. During the pandemic, he revitalized his father’s dormant IT consultancy, ITCI, transforming it into a firm specializing in risk mitigation and cybersecurity. While pursuing a doctorate in business administration from the University of Florida, he expanded ITCI’s offerings to include risk assessments, governance, compliance, and training for businesses, governments, and nonprofits.*
* *Discussion Abstract: Calculated risk is a catalyst for innovation and growth. This talk will explore the role of quantitative risk analysis, focusing on its application to cybersecurity and other challenges. By understanding risk through a quantitative lens, organizations can make more informed decisions and drive meaningful growth. Learn practical insights into how this approach will lead to better decision-making and strategic planning in an increasingly complex digital landscape.*

**11:00am - 3rd Speaker - FBI**

* *Discussion Abstract: 2025 Bureau Update*
