About

I have 3+ decades as an entrepreneur, info sec expert and executive at companies like RSA, Arbor Networks, CA, McAfee, Cybereason, and more. I am dedicated to empowering defenders in cyber conflict and fulfilling the promise of security, enabling a safe, reliable, connected world. I am a public speaker, hold multiple patents, host a podcast (On The Hook), sit on some select boards and publications, and am an InfoSec mentor. If I can help, I'll always listen and be straight.
