Jeremiah Baker

Imagine being an executive who, despite being tech-savvy, unknowingly clicks a malicious link that spreads a financial scam to your entire contact list. Or picture a sophisticated wire fraud scheme that steals over $700,000 from your company, or your systems being held hostage by ransomware demanding half a million dollars in Bitcoin. Maybe your email account is hijacked to target some of the world’s wealthiest individuals. These are real scenarios that show how vulnerable we all are, no matter how secure we think we are.

For over 17 years, Jeremiah Baker and his team have helped hundreds of clients, including casinos, banks, hospitals, corporations, and government organizations, identify and address vulnerabilities, staying ahead of cybercriminals. A pioneer in ethical hacking, Baker believes organizations must understand their security posture before it’s too late.

Baker’s unique perspective on security and trust stems from his childhood, growing up with 56 foster siblings. This experience instilled in him a deep understanding of responsibility, vigilance, and the importance of protecting what matters most - principles he now applies to safeguarding digital environments from cyber threats.

Baker and his team’s work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and has inspired episodes on TV shows like "Burn Notice" and "Homeland."

As the author of "Confessions of a Hacker," Baker shares gripping real-life stories of ethical hacking and provides actionable insights on how to protect against evolving cyber threats. His keynote, also titled Confessions of a Hacker, keeps audiences on the edge of their seats as he brings the world of cybersecurity to life through storytelling and real-world examples. Known for his engaging and dynamic presentation style, Baker empowers people to take control of their digital safety by making complex cybersecurity concepts easy to understand and apply.

Baker has spoken at prestigious organizations such as Stanford University, ASML’s Global Corporate Security Conference, Gilbarco Veeder-Root Global Retail Conference, Opal Group, ePay Resources Financial Crimes Symposium, AceTech Leadership Conference, and Xchange Security.
