Scouting report
Led incident response at Motorola Solutions and then at Dragos, running investigations inside live industrial networks where you cannot simply reimage the plant. Writes long-running public guidance on breaking into and surviving the profession, founded PancakesCon, and holds the SANS Lifetime Achievement Award for that work as much as the casework.
Curator’s note
The mentorship is the contribution. Half a conference floor learned from those posts.
