Gautam ‘Gotham' Sharma — CEO
I’m Gotham Sharma, The Cybersecurity Comedian. As a cybersecurity practitioner and trainer turned entertainer, I blend the worlds of technology and comedy to entertain audiences with absurd, dysfunctional, and absolutely relatable humor. Over the years, I’ve been invited to deliver custom variations of this unique approach at conferences around the world: BSides, Global Cybersecurity Forum, Joint Metro Cybersecurity Conference, JumpCon, and several others. I launched “The Onion” for InfoSec: Brute Farce Media, a collection of comic strips and absurd headlines that folks in tech and security can appreciate.
