About us

John Sileo’s identity was stolen by a business insider and used to embezzle $300,000 from his clients. The exposure destroyed John’s company and consumed two precious years as he fought to stay out of jail. Combining real-world experience with years of study, John became an award-winning author, trusted advisor and leading speaker on managing privacy and reputation in an economy plagued by digital overexposure. John leverages his story of transforming risk into reward and the emotional connections it creates to evoke the skills of instinct, inquiry, and initiative that empower his clients to take control of their data exposure before it’s too late. John is the CEO of The Sileo Group, which advises clients on balancing risk, defending privacy and multiplying profits by building a culture of deep trust. John’s body of work includes engagements with the Pentagon, USA Today, Blue Cross, the FDIC, Pfizer, 60 Minutes, Homeland Security, AARP, Anderson Cooper, Prudential, The Washington Post, the Federal Reserve, Fox Business and organizations of all sizes. John graduated from Harvard University with honors and spends his free time with his amazing wife and two highly spirited daughters.

  • 🚨 When top White House officials accidentally invited a journalist to their "Let's Bomb Yemen" Signal chat, they exposed more than just a massive blunder… They proved one thing: Even the highest levels of government confuse encryption with security. 🔒 Encryption ≠ Security. A simple slip-up can cost millions. 🎥 Watch this 2-minute breakdown—it might just save your company from its next big security disaster. If they are making these mistakes, what about your employees? 🤯 A fresh perspective weaving in some of these recent scenarios if just what your team needs!

  • 🚨 Your Smartphone Is Too Easy to Hack! Here’s How to Fix It 🚨 I’ve live-hacked audience members' phones during my keynotes, and the lesson is always the same: 1️⃣ Most passcodes are way too weak 2️⃣ One simple change makes hacking as hard as scoring Taylor Swift tickets 🎟️ Upgrade your passcode to a passphrase! Instead of a weak 4-digit PIN (1234 – cracked in seconds), use something longer and memorable (! L0v3 D@d – 60 quadrillion combos!). 🔹 iPhone Users: Set up a stronger passcode 🔹 Android Users: Check with your phone manufacturer And don’t forget—store it in a password manager and share it with someone you trust for emergencies! Dig more into the importance of passkeys: https://lnkd.in/gmkw9T2J. Need a cybersecurity refresher for your group?

  • Election Security Is Being Dismantled—And That’s a BIG Problem! Election meddling has been a major issue in the last three elections. The good news? A lot of it was caught early, thanks to election security initiatives. The bad news? Those very initiatives are now being defunded. CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) was created during Trump’s first term and funded two key election security programs. Now, those programs are being eliminated. What Happens When Election Security Gets Cut? ⚖️ The party in power controls the narrative. ✅ If they win, they claim elections were secure and everything worked as planned. 💬 “See? The system works… when we win.” ❌ If they lose, they cry fraud, blaming a lack of monitoring—conveniently forgetting they were the ones who dismantled it. 💬 “This election was rigged! But let’s not talk about why there was no oversight…” The Real Danger? Foreign Interference. Defunding election security means removing safeguards against disinformation campaigns—the same kind of Russian and Chinese interference we’ve seen in past elections.) No oversight = No accountability. This effectively hands Russia and China a greater role in influencing U.S. elections. From a security standpoint, this is like intentionally leaving the front door open and acting surprised when intruders walk in. Instead of gutting election security, we should be strengthening it—because democracy only works when elections are fair, transparent, and protected from foreign influence. Thoughts? Questions? Comments? I'm curious how this news is hitting the rest of you...? #ElectionSecurity #ProtectDemocracy #CyberSecurity #ElectionIntegrity #DemocracyMatters #StopDisinformation #ForeignInterference #VotingRights #DefendDemocracy https://lnkd.in/ehvnceW8

  • It’s never just data that gets hacked. It’s everything real at the end of the data. For me, it meant: 💔 Losing a 40-year-old family business and a startup. 💸 Watching our net worth and life savings disappear. ⏳ Spending two years watching my girls grow up from the basement as I furiously tried to clear my name and the charges against me. Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue—it’s a human issue. Make sure you’re protecting what matters most. Reach out if I can help. #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #ProtectWhatMatters #KeynoteSpeaker #CyberSecuritySpeaker

  • 🚨 DOGE’s Disastrous Cybersecurity Slashes: An Open Bar for Nation-State Hackers🚨 The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) just made a catastrophic mistake—one that puts every American at risk. Without so much as an interview, they fired hundreds of top cybersecurity experts from critical agencies like DHS, CISA, NIST, and SF. The result? A NATIONAL SECURITY NIGHTMARE. DOGE is intoxicated with power it should not have, but it’s every American that is going to suffer the hangover. Watch the video for actions to take now and read Brian Krebs’ breakdown of this disaster. https://lnkd.in/eKQnBbeZ #DOGEcuts #CyberSecurity #DataBreach #NationalSecurity #CyberThreats #CyberDefense #KeynoteSpeaker #CyberSecurityExpert

  • Quantum Computing Is Cybercrimes’ New Best Friend: How to Proactively Defend Your Organization Quantum computing is no longer just theory—it’s happening. And while that’s exciting, it’s also a game-changer for cybersecurity. Why? Because the same quantum power that can solve complex problems at lightning speed could also break today’s encryption methods almost overnight. 🔓 The question isn’t IF we need to rethink cybersecurity—it’s HOW FAST we can adapt. Post-quantum cryptography is the future, but are we ready for it?

  • 🚨 Cybercriminals Count on Your Trust—Stay One Step Ahead! 🚨 We’ve been socially engineered. You. Your team. Your family. Tricked into ignoring skepticism for: ✅ Free downloads ✅ Free music ✅ Free reports ✅ Free logins And that’s exactly what cybercriminals exploit. They think one step ahead, before we even pause to ask: "Wait... should I really give away this info?" 📌 That phone number. 📌 That login. 📌 That one click. Pause. Take that moment of mindfulness. 💡 "Hang on, this could cost us." Skepticism is your most powerful defense.
