EVENT — Live Presentation | ISSA Phoenix — Featured Speaker: The Overlooked Cyber Strategy: Protection from the New Wave of CyberThreats (Professional Attacks, Character Assassination, Doxing, Impersonation, and more)
Hunter Storm’s 2019 ISSA Scottsdale presentation introduced one of the earliest unified threat models for identity‑layer attacks — long before the cybersecurity industry recognized identity contamination, synthetic personas, reputational warfare, and hybrid digital‑physical escalation as part of the threat landscape. Drawing from years of research and real‑world adversarial patterns, she mapped how fabricated records, impersonation clusters, and entity‑graph manipulation can be weaponized against individuals with organizational‑scale impact. Attendees received a first look at the frameworks that would later underpin digital‑risk protection, executive digital security, and identity‑layer threat intelligence. This session stands as a foundational moment in the emergence of Identity Layer Security™. It was also a pivotal presentation of her Femme Fatale to Federal Whistleblower research.

Recipe for Disaster | A Structured and Humorous Breakdown of Avoidable Chaos
A tongue‑in‑cheek breakdown of how everyday misalignments, unclear requirements, and one overlooked dependency can quietly snowball into a perfectly avoidable catastrophe. Framed as a conceptual “recipe,” this piece turns organizational failure modes into ingredients and steps, offering a dry, structured look at how disasters are engineered long before anyone notices something’s wrong. It’s not food — but it’s absolutely something you’ve tasted before.
