Cybersecurity keynote speaker

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 Phantom'sLab, he combines behavioral psychology, gamification, and storytelling to move audiences from passive listeners to active defenders.

Why choose a cybersecurity awareness keynote

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:

  • Real-world cyber attack stories that feel personal.
  • Emotional engagement through live demos and simulations.
  • Practical insights drawn from thousands of game participants.
  • Actionable takeaways for every role, from intern to CISO.

From stage to action: Phantom’s experience

Game-based learning and gamification.

Behavior change and (e)-learning.

Culture and leadership.

A keynote is just the start. Joris connects his talks directly to Phantom’s 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.
