      Jonathan Cassar – Chief Information Security Officer, Malta Information Technology Agency – Nov 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u2018Monica Verma, an AI and Cyber leader, CISO, and founder of Monica Talks Cyber, gave a fantastic closing keynote on “Innovating with AI Without Breaking Trust” for cyber and IT leaders in Malta at Cyber Root conference, one of the largest conferences in Malta. As a keynote speaker and a former CISO, she brought her real-world experiences and insights on AI, demystifying how AI is breaking trust in society. She dove into the challenges that AI brings and key practical things every business, IT, AI and cyber leader must do in their organisation today to bridge that trust gap, and leverage AI for business decisions, digitalisation, and more. As an experienced storyteller, her keynote was very well received. Highly recommend her as a keynote speaker.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n

      Conrad Chircop – Information Security & Risk Leader, Patently – Nov 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u2018Monica\u2019s closing keynote “Innovating with AI Without Breaking Trust”, in a challenging afternoon slot at the prime cybersecurity conference in Malta (Cyber Root), was a powerful reminder that technology leadership today demands a balance between technical depth and human context. Her ability to connect strategic AI governance with day-to-day decision-making, grounded in trust, accountability and data integrity aspects, was particularly resonant and highly engaging. All in all, it offered insightful, human, and deeply relevant takeaways for both technology leaders and organisations seeking to embed AI responsibly into their professional ethos. Monica delivers content that is both relatable and actionable. In my book, that makes her one of those standout keynote speakers who bridge insight with real-world relevance.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n

      \u00d8yvind Haugemoen – Head of IT Security, The Norwegian Tax Authority – Oct 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u2018Monica is a highly competent AI and cyber leader, a keynote speaker and a storyteller and her keynote on \u201cGoverning AI before it hacks you\u201d was extremely well received at the IT Tech conference in Norway, co-organized by the Norwegian Tax Authority (Skatteetaten) for industry leaders, IT and cyber leaders and professionals. In her keynote, Monica shared her insights on AI trends and risks, AI use cases in businesses and decision making, how AI is seemingly conscious and hacking you without most realizing it, and most importantly how to govern and build AI for a positive future of our businesses and society in the digitalization journey that we are [in]. Through her experience, her content and storytelling, she breaks down extremely important and complex topics in AI, cyber and leadership in ways that provide immediate actionable insights and next steps, giving the audience real experiences, practical frameworks and key takeaways. Her mission is to help build resilient businesses and society in the world of AI and her keynote fits perfectly. I highly recommend her as an AI and cyber advisor, leader and keynote speaker.’<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/details>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
