Daniel Ossio — where cybersecurity meets wingsuit flying

Daniel Ossio operates at the intersection of cybersecurity and extreme aviation — where the consequences of poor decisions are measured in breaches and broken bones, and where preparation, precision, and composure separate success from catastrophe.

With 25+ years in the cybersecurity industry, Daniel has led security programmes across sectors, advising on risk strategy, incident response, and governance. As a world-record wingsuit pilot with over 4,000 jumps, he has achieved exit speeds of 277.8 km/h and organized the first-ever AWF World Record.

This dual expertise gives Daniel a perspective that no other keynote speaker can offer: real-world experience managing risk at the highest stakes — both in the threat landscape and above it.
