I help organizations build resilient security programs and families protect their digital lives from the threats most people don't see coming — until it's too late.
Two stages in San Francisco this fall. Come say hello, and bring your toughest security question.
Cybersecurity Live
An interactive session where the room works through real scams: phishing, invoice fraud and account takeover.
How to Survive the Future
Quantum, AI and cybersecurity in plain English, with steps you can act on the next morning. Conference runs Nov 3 to 5.
Every day, another breach. Another family's savings wiped out. Another company held hostage by ransomware. Most leaders and families don't realize how exposed they are until it's too late.
This is the world I've spent three decades fighting to fix.
From boardroom strategy to family protection, I meet organizations and individuals where they are.
I turn complex cybersecurity threats into stories that stick. Audiences leave with actionable steps they implement the next morning — not just fear.
I partner with leadership teams to build security programs that protect the business without slowing it down. Strategy, not just compliance checkboxes.
Through my book, podcast appearances, and content, I make cybersecurity accessible to everyone — from Fortune 500 CISOs to parents protecting their kids.
I help businesses of all sizes build enterprise-grade security programs — covering all 15 critical categories from endpoint protection to compliance. Get your free Personal Cyber Score →

Corey White is the founder and CEO of Cythentic and a 30+ year cybersecurity veteran who founded, scaled and sold Cyvatar (2026). Speaking as Quantum Corey, he connects quantum thinking, AI and cybersecurity to real business risk. He is the author of You’re Already a Target, on Kindle pre-order ahead of its November 3, 2026 release.
Corey White is the founder and CEO of Cythentic, a cybersecurity company built for consumers and small businesses. He created Remi by Cythentic, an AI security coach that helps families close the gaps attackers use. In more than 30 years in cybersecurity, he has protected Fortune 500 institutions, governments and critical infrastructure.
He founded, scaled and sold Cyvatar (2026), a managed security company with zero reported major customer breaches across seven years, protecting 200+ organizations. Earlier, he served as SVP of Worldwide Consulting and Chief Experience Officer at Cylance, a pioneer of AI-driven endpoint protection, and came up through Foundstone with the generation that built the security industry, the same alumni network that went on to found CrowdStrike, Mandiant and Cylance. He is a contributor to Ross Haleliuk’s Cyber for Builders.
Speaking as Quantum Corey, he connects quantum thinking, AI and cybersecurity to real business risk. His talk on AI-based threats was named a Top Summit Talk of 2024 at the SANS AI Cybersecurity Summit.

Corey White is the founder and CEO of Cythentic, a cybersecurity company built for consumers and small businesses. He created Remi by Cythentic, an AI security coach that helps families close the gaps attackers use instead of just reading about them. He started in security on August 24, 1995, the day Windows 95 came out, and in the three decades since has protected Fortune 500 institutions, governments and critical infrastructure.
He founded, scaled and sold Cyvatar (2026), one of the industry’s first membership-based managed security platforms, with zero reported major customer breaches across seven years, protecting 200+ organizations. Before Cyvatar, he was SVP of Worldwide Consulting and Chief Experience Officer at Cylance, one of the pioneers of AI-driven endpoint protection, and Southwest Director of Consulting for Foundstone and McAfee/Intel Professional Services. He belongs to the generation that built the security industry: Ross Haleliuk’s Venture in Security, in its history of where cybersecurity’s founders came from, places him on the Foundstone branch of the family tree, the same branch that produced the founders of CrowdStrike, Mandiant and Cylance. Corey also wrote a contribution to Haleliuk’s book, Cyber for Builders: The Essential Guide to Building a Cybersecurity Startup, on the blurring line between security products and services.
Speaking as Quantum Corey, he connects quantum thinking, AI and cybersecurity to real business risk, in plain English and with steps an audience can act on the next morning. His talk on AI-based threats was named a Top Summit Talk of 2024 at the SANS AI Cybersecurity Summit, and he has presented at RSA Conference, Finovate and the NMSDC Conference. CBS News featured him at SXSW 2022, and he has made more than 50 media appearances.
His recognition includes induction into the Tampa Bay Wave Hall of Fame, CEO of the Year Finalist at the Los Angeles Times Executive Forum (2025), and Best Technology Company CEO Finalist at the Octane High Tech Awards in 2025 and 2026.
His book, You’re Already a Target, is a plain-English guide to protecting families from identity theft, fraud and deepfakes. It is on Kindle pre-order ahead of its November 3, 2026 release. Corey studied Computer Information Systems at the University of Louisiana Monroe.
50+ podcast appearances, keynotes, webinars, and features across cybersecurity, business, and technology media.
Recognized among the top summit talks of the year by SANS Institute — the gold standard in cybersecurity research and training. Corey breaks down how AI is fundamentally changing the attack landscape and what organizations must do to stay ahead.

"Corey doesn't just talk about cybersecurity — he makes you feel the urgency and leave with a plan."— Event Organizer
I connect quantum thinking, AI, and cybersecurity to real business risk. These aren't tech talks — they're strategic wake-up calls.
Your passwords, bank transfers and medical records are locked with strong encryption. The keys to those locks are handed over with math a quantum computer is expected to break, and anyone recording that handoff today can open the lock later. This talk connects quantum computing, AI, and cybersecurity in a way that’s immediately understandable and actionable. No jargon. No hype. Just the best evidence on what’s coming, how sure anyone can be, and what to do before the date nobody can name.
Three seconds of audio. That’s all one free tool needed to make a convincing copy of a voice in McAfee’s 2023 lab test, and your CEO has done hours of earnings calls. One email. One phone call. One deepfake. And your company is compromised, not because your firewall failed, but because a human trusted what they heard. This is the wake-up call for every leader, manager, and employee.
A breach doesn’t just cost money. It costs trust, momentum, and sleep. And the companies that get hit once almost always get hit again — not because the hackers are that good, but because leadership rebuilds on the same broken foundation. This talk is for the people who sign the checks.
Defenders got faster. Attackers got faster still: exploits now land a week before the patch, and stolen access changes hands in 22 seconds. AI has made the old attacks cheaper, faster and more convincing. Quantum computing will break the locks we use to exchange keys and sign software, and nobody knows the date, so attackers are recording traffic now. But the same technologies that empower attackers can empower defenders, if we move fast enough. This talk lays out the threat timeline, the stakes, and a practical survival framework.
A quantum computer doesn’t think in ones and zeros. It holds multiple truths at the same time. It connects across impossible distances. It collapses possibility into reality the moment someone observes it. You do this every day. This talk transforms how leaders think about decision-making, presence, and human potential through the lens of quantum physics.
The breach already happened. The ransomware screen is on your CFO’s laptop. And in the next 72 hours, your leadership team is about to make decisions that will either save your company — or guarantee you get hit again. Most companies choose wrong. This talk walks through what happens behind the scenes and introduces the prevention-first model.
The practical, no-jargon guide to protecting your family from identity theft, fraud, deepfakes, and the digital threats hiding in plain sight. Written for real people — not IT departments.
