James Lyne
As a big believer that one of the biggest problems of security is making it accessible and interesting to those outside the security industry, James Lyne accepts every opportunity to educate on security threats and convert forbidding tech jargon into human language.
As the global head of security research at Sophos and a certified instructor at the SANS institute, James's expertise lends weight to his words. Frequently called upon for his technical know-how, he has worked with numerous organisations and handled several severe incidents.
In an ever-expanding world of networked mobile devices and security threats, our ignorance of them has become more widespread than ever. James believes that if we continue to ignore basic best practices, security is on a trajectory of failure.
As a speaker, he is highly animated, and his presentations are always packed with demonstrations; ranging from showing how cyber criminals operate in the real world to deep technical presentations that aim to inspire technical thinkers.
James has appeared on many national TV programs, including CNN, NBC, BBC News, and Real Time with Bill Maher. He has given several TED talks on topics such as cybercrime and cryptography, including one at the main TED event.
