Jeremy Duffy
MS, CISSP - Tech Safety & Leadership Specialist
Jeremy is a former National Security Agency employee who developed and delivered Operations Security education to the full alphabet of federal agencies in Maryland, DC, and beyond. His drive for helping people learn tech safety principles is second only to his passion for leadership training.
He's a graduate of the Defense Civilian Emerging Leader's program, was recognized as one of five top employee advocate by the NSA Anti-Harassment Campaign, and served as an elected Workforce Matters Advocate helping military officers & senior executives to build trust and battle workplace toxicity through a culture of listening and full-scope collaboration.
After 16 years of experience elevating others with his award-winning speaking and teaching skills, Jeremy left the NSA to offer his expertise to the general public.

Whether risk management or building a culture of collaboration, everything starts by empowering people. By sharing awareness, perspective, and the lessons from his unique experience, Jeremy will instill the cultural norms necessary for business security and stability.
Using the principles of “Edu-tainment”, Jeremy uses appropriate humor, examples from real life situations, and an upbeat tempo to keep attendees engaged.
A passionate believer in the power of education, Jeremy will demonstrate how dangerous lacking awareness can be while arming you with the tools and perspective you need to stay safe and effective in your role (whether that means building defenses against cyber threats or becoming the best leader you can be).
What really happens behind the veil of national security? What dark secrets of spying and intrigue are hidden behind those walls? I couldn't say (I would go to jail if I tried), but what I CAN say is that, in the National Security Agency, harassment victims faced disinterest and dismissal. Rampant waste and abuses when unaddressed as the employees who saw the problems were mocked, insulted, and kicked out the door if they tried to raise the alarm. In other words, the NSA treated employees as adversaries instead of allies.
In Are You Listening?, I share the NSA's cautionary tale to warn of the inevitable dysfunction that grows when leaders don't know how to truly, authentically, and effectively listen.
