Daniel Tobok is equally a veteran and visionary of cyber security, intelligence and resilience.
Daniel’s expertise spans nearly three-decades, with a historical track record second to none. With over ten-thousand cyber attack reviews, thousands of successful recoveries, reclamation and restoration missions to his credit; his record is emboldened by hundreds of experts on his side, covering millions of miles of threat and leveraging trillions of data points of collective genius, wisdom and data.
Daniel’s commenced his entrepreneurial understudies in ’95. Forging in the fires of hard work and head winds, he fortified his business acumen and temperament for what was next.
In 1998 during the Great Rise of the digital landscape, Daniel entered the technology realm apprenticing under some of the greatest minds and leaders in the space of the time. Appreciating the value and importance of innovation and disruptive thinking, Daniel was frustrated with the unapologetic disregard by pioneers in industry to cause and create what was next for the industry leaving Daniel no choice but to embark on his own catalyzing his entrepreneurial trajectory, from which he never turned back.
Daniel launched a boutique advisory firm in 2001 providing superior tech solutions resulting in his first equitable event, the sale of his first start up business. In 2005 Daniel founded a second company, Digital Wyzdom, which led to a second equitable event, this time selling his business to cellular-communication-powerhouse TELUS. Daniel agreed to lead their thinking and strategy within the realm of Digital Forensics and Security Consulting Division.
With an emboldened understanding of the cyber security risk curve, Daniel spent years analyzing, data-forming and crystallizing theories, strategies and architecture to optimally respond and annihilate the inescapable cyber crisis facing C-suite executive’s, their staff, stakeholders and shareholders. This gave rise to his very own, urban cyber security and intelligence philosophy: Cyber CertaintyTM.
Daniel defines Cyber CertaintyTM as the new standard for stakeholders to think and respond from when it comes to cyber concern, crisis or circumstance causing chaos.
Cyber CertaintyTM simply means being more invincible and less vulnerable – digitally.
Daniel later founded and headed Cytelligence, earning itself worldwide acclaim for reinventing a new standard for excellence through its years of actionable-intelligence and genius.
It too achieved commercial success, later resulting in Daniel’s third equitable event, selling his business to the global juggernaut, the multinational corporation, AON.
Today, Daniel is a highly sought after thought leader, commentator and trusted expert in global media seeking his opinion, judgment and genius on the current climate of cyber threat actors and warfare; appearing on FOX, Al Jazeera, CTV News, Global TV, CBC, BNN and in Canadian Business, Globe & Mail, National Post, IT World, Rob Magazine, Macleans, Yahoo! and Forbes. Daniel regularly tours the globe taking the stage at cyber-security conferences, summits and assemblies in Canada, United States of America, UK and across the Caribbean.
