I became involved with information security industry long before it was a thing, having founded and grown a number of information security businesses over the past 20 years. It is with increasing bewilderment that I observe how computer science, mathematics and engineering are rapidly converging as we attempt to solve the Cybersecurity challenge. This suits me fine as those are all particular passions of mine! My career started as a programmer so I have a particular interest in machine learning and how it is used to both defend and attack applications and networks. I am a graduate of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa with a BSc in Electrical Engineering.
