ATLANTA - TelAve -- Jim West, founder and CEO of TopCyberPro.com, is debuting inSECURITY, an immersive cybersecurity experience, at EC-Council's Hacker Halted 2026, Oct. 8–9 at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta. Attendees of the live session of the world's first interactive audience participation presentation at the Westin Peachtree Plaza.

inSECURITY builds on an idea West laid out in his recent CISO Magazine article, "From Awareness to Relevance: Rethinking How We Teach Cybersecurity." Annual training modules and compliance checklists rarely change behavior, he argues. People change when they see how the same threats that target their employer also target their bank accounts, their families, and their identities.

"Cybersecurity lessons have a better chance of lasting when people first understand how the same risks affect their own lives," said West. "That's what inSECURITY is all about."

West brings more than 35 years of experience across IT, cybersecurity, governance, and engineering in government, military, space, and commercial programs. He holds the CISSP with ISSEP, ISSMP, and ISSAP concentrations, along with GIAC (GCIH, GPEN, GSLC), C|CISO, and PMP certifications. He is known for turning complex subjects like cryptography and risk management into guidance practitioners can actually use.

Hacker Halted is one stop on a busy 2026 speaking schedule. West has delivered keynotes on dark web and quantum-era threats at ISACA North America in Las Vegas and ISACA GRC in San Diego. He will present "Beyond the CIA Triad" at ISC2 Security Congress, Oct 24-28 in Aurora, Colorado, and "Encryption Endgame: Beating the Quantum Clock" at ISACA Virtual in December.
