CNN turned to cybersecurity keynote speaker Eric O’Neill for a clear, expert take on a complex U.S. mission. Drawing on his experience as a former FBI counterintelligence operative, Eric described how the U.S. blended intelligence, cyber capabilities, and elite military precision in what became Operation Absolute Resolve.

The months-long plan involved more than 150 aircraft, careful coordination, and actions reported to disrupt power and defenses in Caracas before elite forces moved in.

Eric’s insights helped make this high-stakes operation easier to understand—the same grounded perspective he brings to audiences on leadership, cybersecurity, and navigating high-pressure situations.
