Femme Fatale to Federal Whistleblower | Lessons in Risk, Governance and Resilience

I am excited to speak at ISACA Central Ohio chapter’s virtual event, and I hope you can join me!

Drawing on high-stakes operations, The Storm Project | AI, Cybersecurity, Quantum, and the Future of Intelligence, and cross-disciplinary experience in AI, cybersecurity, and cyber-physical systems, Hunter provides actionable strategies for spotting threats, strengthening governance, and making decisions in complex environments. Expect a session that is sharp, memorable, and full of practical takeaways—with a touch of irreverence that ensures these lessons unforgettable.

Hunter Storm’s Mission

Hunter’s work is driven by a simple commitment: to ensure that no one else has to experience what she did. Her focus is on strengthening governance structures, eliminating retaliation pathways, and building systems that surface issues early—long before they require someone to risk their career or safety to speak up. Her vow is not to create more whistleblowers, but to help build institutions where whistleblowing becomes obsolete because the systems work.

In This Virtual Session, Hunter Will Cover

• Whistleblowing dynamics — what actually happens inside institutions when truth meets power
• Insider threat patterns — human‑layer signals organizations routinely miss
• Governance failures — why issues escalate instead of resolve
• Resilience under pressure — decision‑making in high‑stakes, high‑ambiguity environments
• Hybrid‑threat environments — where cyber, physical, and psychological vectors converge
• Institutional blind spots — how organizations misread risk and misdiagnose people
• Actionable strategies — what practitioners can implement immediately

Speaker

Hunter Storm — federal whistleblower to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding Wells Fargo; veteran CISO; governance architect; and creator of Hacking Humans: The Ports and Services Model of social engineering.

Her work is rooted in real‑world whistleblowing experience, hybrid‑threat analysis, and institutional resilience.
