Bryan Seely

World famous cyber security expert and ethical hacker

Categories: Business, Digital, Technology

Bryan Seely is a world famous cyber security expert, ethical hacker, author and former U.S. Marine. Seely became one of the most famous hackers in 2014 when he became the only person to ever wiretap the United States Secret Service and FBI. Shockingly he told the 2 agencies before he was caught, and instead of being sent to maximum security prison, the Secret Service called him a hero and praised his courage and integrity.

Later that year Seely and another security expert de-anonymized the highly valued mobile app, Secret. He was on the front page of Wired.com, CNNMoney, CNET, Forbes and the Washington Post — all in the same day. Soon after, Bryan wrote a book about a relatively unknown type of consumer fraud in his book, Cyber Fraud: The Web of Lies which is available on Amazon.

One of his discoveries uncovered 20+ million Social Security Numbers, and then led him to appear on The Lead with Jake Tapper. He found several high profile flaws at Linkedin.com and was able to attract the attention of Texas billionaire & Shark Tank star Mark Cuban who publicly endorses his skills and integrity.

Bryan is passionate about fighting for consumers rights, privacy and educating the public about how to stay safe in a constantly changing technology landscape. He currently lives in Seattle with his 2 children. Bryan freelances as a cybersecurity consultant and also advises John McAfee and his company MGT.

What does a famous hacker do to protect his children at school? Online? At home?

INSIDE THE MIND OF A CYBERCRIMINAL
Hackers are getting more and more creative every single day. Companies spend months or years creating a defense only to find out that the hackers have already figured out another way in. Hackers don’t think like the rest of the population, which is why they are able to spot weaknesses that everyone else just walks right by. Luckily, one of these brilliant hacker types uses his skills to protect consumers and companies, Bryan Seely is one of these individuals. In this session you will hear the story of how Bryan wiretapped the United States Secret Service and FBI and then walked into their office the next day to let them know there was a problem they needed to fix . Find out why he did it, what his thought process was, and even learn a few secrets that the general public doesn’t know about. If you are looking for insights into what hackers are thinking, how they operate, and how you can protect yourself against them, then this is a keynote you will not want to miss.

CUSTOM KEYNOTE CREATED FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION
For clients that need to create a specific event or unique presentation, this is your best choice. Bryan will work with you to create a speech that is tailored to your audience. Some clients want longer Q&A, others want panel discussions, break out sessions, added humor, no humor, or just dry humor. So far no requests for “more puns” but it is 2020, so anything can happen I suppose. Keynotes from 30 minutes to 90 minutes and everything in between.

Bryan is a soundbite machine with an uncanny ability to render complex subjects not only accessible but relatable and entertaining. His depth of knowledge is undeniable, but he’s not your typical ‘expert’ because he’s on the level.

I saw Bryan speaking in Dubai and not only is his story on wiretapping the Secret Service impressive and almost surreal, but he is also an incredibly engaging speaker that somehow manages to make cyber security interesting and entertaining. His passion and energy got the event off to a great start! Bryan tailored a message that was spot on in the material, highly engaging and humorous at the same time! No speaker has ever held my attention for that long. Ever. Do yourself a favor — get Bryan for your next conference. You can thank me later!
-Jelena Matone | Senior Head, CISO & OpRisk, European Investment Bank; President at Women4Cyber Foundation

Mr. Seely was without a doubt very instrumental in providing the HPE Security SWAT team real world context of Cyber Security threats methods and use cases across the spectrum. Bryan provided excellent insights into what it takes to train in Cyber Sec and InfoSec as well as providing in-depth knowledge of his background and his thinking outside the box to provide counter-measures to bad-actors and tracking them using a wide variety of methods. Bryan is an incredible resource and very well respected in the industry and comes highly recommended not only for his persistence in defend and tracking but his tireless work ethic, think some of which was gleaned from his time as a US Marine. We here at HPE plan to continue our relationship with him and leverage him for future engagements. We’re certainly glad to have someone like him on our side of the Cyber World! Thanks Bryan for all you do for Cyber and outside as well! What a great human being!
-Kevin White | Chief Technologist @ HP

I was lucky enough last week to have Bryan be a keynote speaker for the cybersecurity academy I’m currently attending. I embarrassingly had no prior knowledge of Bryan’s story beforehand but knew if he was invited, it was going to be worth listening to. Bryan was extremely knowledgable, engaging, and most of all funny! It honestly felt like he was in the room talking to us not at us. I was hooked from beginning to end and was truly inspired by his story.
-Miguel Guerrero | Cybersecurity Student at Fullstack Academy

We had the pleasure to host Bryan as a headliner at the 40th edition of GITEX. Bryan is a character that, when you hear him described, is straight out of a movie. A former marine who is the only hacker to wiretap the US Secret Service and the FBI. As a speaker, Bryan lives up to and exceeds sky-high expectations from the audience. His presentations and positive energy all around made our event a success to never be forgotten, not least his breakfast with John Cleese, but that’s another story.
-Oscar Wendel | Senior Manager Conferences & Content @ GITEX

I like working with them (Bryan and his partner) . They look to help rather than exploit. We have learned from them and I think their experience will be valuable to other app publishers and networks as well.
-Mark Cuban Owner of Dallas Mavericks & Star of Sharktank on ABC

Bryan is an outstanding addition to the MGT Hacker Advisory Board as a renowned ethical hacker. He thinks entirely out of the box, and has consistently looked to leverage his skills for the good of society
-John McAfee Founder of McAfee Antivirus and Technology Icon

Bryan was a pleasure to work with for our Cybersecurity Webinar event. He was also a marketer’s dream, with only a few words you can get people’s attention: Ethical Hacker, Former Marine, First Person to Wire-Tap the FBI and US Secret Service. Bryan exceeded our expectations on the presentation with extremely engaging stories and even some elements of humor. Behind the scenes he was very accommodating and was willing to go the extra mile to make this event work. We would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
