Josh has been crashing computers since his teens, and now feels fortunate to be doing it professionally. He has spent the last decade focusing on Information Security, particularly network and endpoint detection. He also enjoys teaching around InfoSec issues, especially to non-technical learners - helping them to understand how their actions in the digital world have real-world consequences, as well as how to proactively reduce the risk.

I've been involved in computer and network security for 15 years, and have led consulting engagements with Fortune 500 companies, Wall Street firms, public utilities and major universities.

I'm also an accomplished writer and speaker. I've presented at several industry conferences, written sections of courseware for the SANS Institute and have been a contributing editor for "Information Security Magazine."

I hold several security certifications, including CISSP, GSEC, GCUX and GCIH.

Specialties: Penetration testing, ethical hacking, IT security auditing, vulnerability assessment, incident response, hacking techniques, Intrusion Detection/Network Security Monitoring (NSM), wireless security, security training
