Brad Tenenholtz

Speaking

Brad translates complex technical cybersecurity concepts into strategic frameworks for policymakers, executives, and practitioners. His talks bridge the gap between the tactical realities of cyber defense and the policy decisions that shape our collective security posture.

Speaking Topics

The Sovereign Stack

A new doctrine for coordinated Western cyberdefense

Over 90% of cyberattacks depend on Western infrastructure to function. Our adversaries aren't technical wizards—they're supply chain managers who've realized our infrastructure is for sale and we're not checking buyers at the door. This talk presents a framework for coordinated infrastructure denial: Enable defenders through legal protection, Share intelligence in real-time, and Act together to deny adversaries access to Western services.

Suitable for: Policy audiences, critical infrastructure executives, cybersecurity leadership, government/defense conferences

Securing AI-Generated Code

What happens when AI writes your attack surface

AI coding assistants are transforming software development—and creating massive new vulnerabilities in the process. This talk examines the unique security challenges of AI-generated code, why traditional AppSec approaches fall short, and practical frameworks for maintaining security when your codebase is increasingly machine-written.

Suitable for: Security practitioners, development leadership, AppSec teams, technology conferences
