Have you been forced to sit through corporate security awareness training? Did it suck? Of course it did.

Grant Lockwood has been doing cybersecurity for a long time. A very long time, and he's tired now and needs a rest. Let him tell you why, over the course of a progressively unhinged PowerPoint presentation.

Part educational, part comedy, mostly therapy session, all loosely wrapped in a thin veneer of the sketchiest corporate training you've ever seen.

We may even find out what a cyber is.

Attendance at this show will count for 0 CPE hours.

Actual feedback I have received:
"I'm not sure how much I learned, but this was pretty fun!" and "The biscuits weren't very good."
