What Seth Focuses On
Seth’s sessions centre on a simple question:
What actually happens when a serious cyber incident unfolds, and how do effective teams respond?
Audiences leave with a clearer understanding of:
- What typically breaks in the first hour of an incident
- How high-performing teams make decisions under pressure
- Where organisations overestimate their readiness
- What regulators, insurers, and boards focus on after the fact
Speaking Formats
Keynote (45–60 minutes)
A high-signal, story-driven talk grounded in real incidents and defensible lessons.
Conference Session (30–45 minutes)
Focused, practical content designed for practitioners and mixed technical audiences.
Executive Briefing (30–60 minutes)
A leadership-focused session aimed at boards and senior decision-makers.
Workshop (Half-day / Full-day)
Hands-on sessions with frameworks, exercises, and practical artefacts teams can apply immediately.
Executive Discussion Topics
Below is a selection of Seth’s most requested sessions. Each can be delivered as a keynote, conference session, or executive briefing, and is tailored to your audience, sector, and event objectives.
Incident Response Under Pressure: How Leaders Make Decisions When It Matters Most
When incidents occur, teams don’t fail because they lack tools. They fail because decision-making collapses under uncertainty. This talk shows how high-performing organisations reduce confusion, avoid common traps, and execute with clarity in the first critical hours.
What’s Really Happening in Cyber Attacks on Critical Infrastructure
A practical look at attacker behaviour in OT and industrial environments, grounded in real investigations. This session demystifies what’s actually happening in the field, what defenders routinely miss, and how organisations can strengthen resilience without overengineering their approach.
Digital Forensics for Executives: What You Can Actually Trust During a Breach
Executives are often asked to make irreversible decisions without understanding what evidence can reliably support. This session explains how investigations really work, what “confidence” means in DFIR, why timelines slip, and how leaders can make informed decisions under uncertainty.
The Five Ways Organisations Fail at Incident Readiness (and What High Performers Do Differently)
A pattern-based breakdown of the most common readiness failures: unclear authority, untested playbooks, weak evidence handling, poor communication, and unrealistic assumptions about tooling. Audiences leave with practical ways to strengthen capability without unnecessary complexity.
The Future of Cyber Risk: What Leaders Need to Prepare For
A forward-looking but grounded view of what’s changing in incident response and cyber risk, based on real-world trends rather than hype. This session helps leaders prioritise investment and capability development for the next wave of incidents.
