2026 Speaking Engagements: Ransomware Ecosystems, CTI and Cybersecurity Governance

2026 Speaking Engagements: Ransomware Ecosystems, CTI and Cybersecurity Governance

Abstract

In 2026, my speaking activity focuses on the connection between Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), ransomware ecosystem analysis, dark web intelligence, and cybersecurity governance.

These sessions bring together my Ph.D. research on the structural resilience of the ransomware economy and my operational experience in enterprise security, with a practical objective: translating threat intelligence into better decisions, stronger awareness, and more resilient organizations.
