KEYNOTER

Dale has been on the bleeding edge of ICS security for over 20 years working with vendors, the most security conscious asset owners, and the best in world talent that speak and attend S4. He has a record of predicting the direction and key events of ICS security 3 to 5 years before they happen … when most experts are saying those items are impossible or decades away. He gives thought provoking, optimistic and interesting keynotes on a variety of topics and events. 

In addition to giving a keynote, Dale is open to a free ranging, no topic off the table, one-on-one fireside chat or Q&A from the audience.

Keynote – Security Truth Or Consequences

Dale delivered a new keynote in April 2022 entitled Security Truth or Consequences. It introduces the big idea that reducing consequence, unlike deploying an ever growing set of security controls, is a game you can win. It leads attendees to rethink where they should put their resources to effectively and efficiently reduce risk.

This keynote is ideal for events that combine engineers, management and OT security professionals such as industry sector conferences, large asset owner internal events, and ICS vendor user group events. See a sample excerpt in the speaker reel below.

Keynote – Explore

In this new for 2023 keynote Dale looks at how little we actually know about OT security and how to explore to find the answers for yourself, your career and your company. He weaves in examples from George Washington, mapmaking, the search for the source of the White Nile, and a variety of OT security stories. Attendees leave the keynote reexamining OT security good practices, and energized to go explore the still new field of OT security.

This keynote is ideal for events with primarily OT and IT security professionals and their management. (Coming soon: excerpt)

FIRESIDE CHATS

One of the S4 highlights is Dale’s on-stage interviews of the big names and innovators in ICS security and related fields. His interviewing experience and curiosity brings out new and interesting information and opinions from the interviewees.

Dale can do the same at your event. He can interview a key person from your company. He can also help you identify and book a great guest for an interview session.

PANEL MODERATOR

Panels at events sound great in theory, but in actuality they often disappoint. The main reason is they are not structured properly, the panelists are not prepped properly, and the moderator does not question, push and cajole the panel to saying something interesting and important. 

The panels Dale moderates at S4 are great examples of what is possible, and what he can bring to your event. He can even help you design the panel and recruit the panelists.
