Ray Heffer presenting on stage at Zero Trust World 2024
Zero Trust World · Orlando, 2024

For the past decade, Ray has delivered keynotes, panels, and executive briefings at industry events worldwide: main-stage conference talks, analyst fireside chats, and closed-door CISO forums, from RSAC and the SANS summits to Zero Trust World.

His sessions draw on thirty years in the field rather than slideware: zero trust, ransomware and cyber resilience, GenAI security, and privacy and OSINT defense, presented so the material lands with technical teams and boardrooms alike. He also hosts The Lockdown, the practical privacy and security podcast, and won the SANS OSINT Summit CTF in 2024.
