Arthur Keleti

Cyber-Secret Futurist

Founder Info-/Cybersec, Trends, Buzz & Networking (ITBN)

I've been working in cybersec for nearly 30 years. I research why security isn't adequate enough and why people and decision-makers don't understand it. I also study the human and technological future of this and AI's impact. I founded the ITBN event and recently became a producer of American sci-fi (Sight Extended), as I love sci-fi and video games. You can also reach out to me to learn about dessert teas (e.g., Thai tea - which I'm drinking right now) and all things Asia. “Édesmindegy”, the dessert bar in downtown Budapest, is our family business.
