I am a CISO/CTO at Neptune Media, a leading provider of executive-level summits that bring together top decision-makers in various industries. With over 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, I have extensive knowledge and skills in network security, digital forensics, governance risk and compliance, penetration testing, and vulnerability management. I leverage my expertise to deliver world-class summits that offer unparalleled opportunities for executives and vendors to learn, network, and grow their businesses. In addition to my role at Neptune Media, I am passionate about fostering the cybersecurity community and sharing my insights with others. I serve on the advisory board of several software companies, teach in an interactive lab environment, and mentor the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. I also speak at various events and conferences, where I discuss the latest trends, challenges, and best practices in cybersecurity. My mission is to help executives and organizations keep pace with the curve in today's rapidly evolving landscape and build empirical trust with key stakeholders.
