About Marc

Marc Goodman works on the crimes that new technology makes possible before most organizations have noticed the technology. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Future Crimes, which set out how connected devices, automation and data concentration expand the attack surface faster than defences adapt.

His career runs the full length of the problem. He began as a street police officer, was appointed futurist in residence with the FBI, and served as a senior adviser to Interpol. Over two decades he has worked on international cybercrime and terrorism with INTERPOL, the United Nations Counterterrorism Task Force, NATO and the United States government.

He founded the Future Crimes Institute, chairs policy, law and ethics at Singularity University in Silicon Valley, and is a distinguished visiting scholar at Stanford's MediaX laboratory.

What distinguishes his material from general cybersecurity content is the time horizon. He is not describing the current threat landscape, which a vendor briefing already covers. He is describing what becomes possible when a capability gets cheap, which is the question a strategy or risk committee needs answered and rarely gets.

He is booked for executive strategy sessions, risk and audit committees, and conferences where the audience has to make decisions with a multi-year horizon rather than respond to this quarter's incidents.

Booking Marc Goodman: Frequently Asked Questions

What is Marc Goodman's speaking fee?

Marc Goodman's fee is not published and is quoted per event. It is driven by event date, location and travel, session length, and whether an executive briefing, moderated discussion or book copies are added to the keynote. Submit an inquiry with your date and audience size for a current quote and availability.

How does his material differ from a standard threat briefing?

The time horizon. A vendor or analyst briefing covers the current threat landscape. His subject is what becomes possible once a capability gets cheap and widely available, which is the question a strategy or risk committee has to answer and rarely gets answered for them.

What is his operational background?

He started as a street police officer, was appointed futurist in residence with the FBI, and served as a senior adviser to Interpol. He has worked on international cybercrime and terrorism with INTERPOL, the UN Counterterrorism Task Force, NATO and the US government over roughly two decades.

What kind of events book him?

Executive strategy offsites, risk and audit committees, cybersecurity and technology conferences, financial services and insurance risk events, and government or defence forums. The common factor is an audience planning on a multi-year horizon rather than responding to current incidents.
