One story can spark a shift in mindset. A strong cybersecurity culture starts with awareness — and that starts with attention. The right keynote speaker can break through resistance, turn complex risks into relatable moments, and set the tone for lasting behavior change. Joris van den Bergh delivers keynotes that do exactly that. As co-creator of Cyber Crime Game, he combines behavioral psychology, gamification, and storytelling to move audiences from passive listeners to active defenders.
Slides don’t change behavior. Stories do. Whether it’s your internal awareness day, cybersecurity month, or a leadership kickoff, a keynote from Joris brings:
A keynote is just the start. Joris connects his talks directly to the Cyber Crime Game — a serious game where employees take on the role of the hacker.
Through that bridge, your audience doesn’t just hear about phishing or deepfakes. They experience it. They manipulate colleagues, clone voices, and walk in the shoes of an attacker — all in a safe, controlled environment. This makes the message personal, emotional, and actionable.
Whether you want to energize employees or engage decision-makers, this keynote delivers impact.
