Speaking
Victor Aldana, MBA, MSc Cybersecurity, PMP, is an enterprise AI-and-security practitioner who teaches the convergence at the graduate level — and makes it usable for the people every other expert talks over. He turns frontline experience into plain-language frameworks that non-technical leaders and the workforce beneath them can act on the next morning, in English or Spanish.
Named sessions, each rebuilt around the room it's delivered to.
A hopeful, plain-language look at how AI is reshaping daily life for people who aren't in the room when it's being built — retirees, students, small business owners, and everyone else expected to adapt to a technology they had no hand in designing. This talk moves past workplace productivity to ask what AI means for the people it affects most and hears from least.
A practical look at how AI is changing both sides of the security equation — as a tool defenders can use and a surface attackers can exploit. Built for technical and semi-technical audiences who need to understand where AI genuinely changes the threat model and where it's just hype.
A talk for cybersecurity professionals and career changers on using AI as a tool for self-directed career growth — from expanding the talent pipeline into security to helping individuals take ownership of their own path forward in a fast-changing field.
Your employees have likely already deployed AI tools without approval, oversight, or a policy in place. This session frames shadow AI as a governance and audit challenge — practical steps for organizations to gain visibility and control before it becomes a compliance or security incident.
What a graduate classroom and a public library taught me about designing security instruction that survives contact with real users. A look at how teaching non-experts — not just training experts — is the missing half of most security awareness programs.

Main-stage conference program.

Same rigor, same warmth, in either language.
In 2025 I was invited by Alabaster International to teach AI and cybersecurity in rural communities across Kenya. The same plain-language approach I use in Las Vegas classrooms — strip the jargon, keep the rigor — held up in classrooms where students had never touched a formal cybersecurity curriculum. The photos above are from those sessions.
I am actively seeking more international speaking and teaching opportunities — especially in communities where the technical conversation usually arrives last.
The questions event organizers and program committees ask most often.
