Mark N. Latimer
I help leaders think clearly about systems, trust, and irreversible decisions.
Speaking Topics
I speak at security conferences, identity developer events, and leadership forums.
Security Through Clarity
How unclear thinking under pressure quietly costs companies trust and revenue—and how to fix it.
The Human Factor in Security
Design systems that support clear behavior by default.
From Complexity to Confidence
Convert uncertainty into forward motion with a practical decision method.
The Authentication Paradox
Stronger controls can produce weaker outcomes—and how to fix it.
Identity at the Edge
Keep access control understandable as your perimeter disappears.
Zero Trust That Ships
Zero trust as an operable system, not a slogan.

About
I help security leaders and identity developers build systems that improve automatically. My work focuses on systems thinking, identity architecture, and authentication systems that get better over time through better questions.
I speak at international security conferences on topics including identity systems, authentication architecture, and building security systems that improve through better questions.
