I speak regularly on cyber threat intelligence, honeypot operations, cyber range leadership, and applied AI for regional chapters, universities, and tech events.
I walk through how OCII's Cyber Range pairs SimSpace-powered virtual range environments and live-fire Red Team vs. Blue Team exercises with the T-Pot multi-honeypot deception engine—its telemetry feeding an Elastic Stack pipeline and a live GeoIP attack map—plus the tandem tabletop model that pressure-tests both executive decision-making and SOC-level incident response. Along the way, I share what directing Cyber Range operations has taught me about turning that telemetry into real skills for students, professionals, and partner organizations.
I lead a hands-on workshop on building a small team of AI employees that run entirely on your own computer—no cloud accounts, nothing leaving the machine. Attendees stand up a Chief of Staff agent that drafts a morning brief from overnight notes and an Analyst that can write code but never run it, landing on the core idea of the session: asking an AI to follow a rule versus enforcing one it can't get around.
I give a tour of T-Pot CE honeypot deployment and real-time attack visualization, built on the same multi-honeypot telemetry pipeline I use to collect and analyze real-world attacker behavior.
