Toby Lewis is a Cyber Security Expert with a career that began within the British Intelligence Services. He was a
founding member of the National Cyber Security Centre and now leads an international team of Cyber Security

landscape into one dominated by Ransomware.

Toby has delivered keynote speeches at conferences on Cyber Security, sharing his experiences combating major
Cyber Security incidents and providing insights into the cyber threat landscape. He has provided commentary for
mainstream broadcast news and print media, on topics ranging from the benefits and risks associated with Artificial
Intelligence, to joining BBC Radio 5 Live on the morning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to discuss the potential
use of Cyber Weapons by the two countries.

Since joining Darktrace, Toby has been at the forefront of the real-world application of AI and Machine Learning
within Cybersecurity, drawing on his Artificial Intelligence expertise and a deep understanding of the value in the
right type of AI for the right application and the human factors around building confidence within organisations as
they begin their journey with AI. With the AI explosion associated with ChatGPT, this also means engaging in an
informed debate, balancing out the hype with a pragmatic view of this new technology.

With over twenty years in Cyber Security, Toby provides an accessible introduction to the intersections of
