Speaker Bio
Eric Galis is a veteran cybersecurity leader dedicated to bridging the gap between high-level strategy and operational execution. He values building empowered teams that leverage technology, process, and storytelling to drive risk reduction. Eric focuses on the "standardization of the core"—applying rigorous frameworks like NIST CSF 2.0, OSSIM, and the Macro Process Wheel to maximize efficiency of foundational controls, allowing teams to focus on high-value activities.

Emerging technologies always present challenges to cybersecurity teams. Technologies like generative AI, agentic AI, and quantum computing disrupt current cybersecurity practices. Some require additional capacity and rigor applied to current controls, including applying automation, orchestration, and AI to repeatable processes like alert triage, while others demand new approaches, such as quantum-resistant encryption algorithms and pushing endpoint protections into the browser.
