Every security problem is a human problem. Regardless of technology, the source is a threat actor or a failure to take the human element into account. I’m interested in leveraging human nature to be part of the solution instead of simply blaming it.My Professional PersonalityFascination Advantage®: The Provocateur. My Primary and Secondary Advantages are Innovation then Mystique. My dormant advantage is Trust.Meyers Briggs: ENTP – The Visionary. I enjoy interacting with others, and especially enjoy using humor and analogies to make arcane security principles accessible to people. How the world sees me:• Unorthodox and independent thinker, I bring revolutionary approaches and unexpected ideas to the organizations I work with.• I find unexplored niches for existing solutions. Where I provide the best value:• I take an entrepreneurial approach to security problems and always look for opportunities to break new ground against difficult problems.• I’m an independent thinker. My value is best realized when you need to question the “party line.” I am able to look at along held view from a new perspective.• I thrive in a challenging environment where I can try new approaches.Leveraging my intelligence and security experience, my aim is to raise the stakes for the attacker, rather than raising the bill for the defenders. That’s how I drive change!
