Hey everyone! Since we’re creating a new community here, I’d love to hear who’s here.

I’ve been doing security for a bit over 30 years now. Made it up to a divisional CISO, then climbed back down the ladder to find a good work/life balance. Currently part of the security leadership team at a large US bank. I run a couple of teams right now, including a firewall policy engineering team and a production support center of excellence. I’m looking forward to seeing what type of community we can build here.

    Computers since 1980, programming, games, and now for almost 18 years incident response/investigation of computer crimes.

    I am retired LEO, that now works for a security company (easy to figure out, not many folks named Vern) doing DFIR work in the OT space, including Incident Response Plan development and Tabletop Exercise design and execution. I taught DFIR at the college level for over a decade, but am on a break from that.

    I went into management/leadership, but I stepped back to individual contributor about 15 years ago and it was the right choice for me. I love the zeros and ones, solving puzzles, and helping folks that are in a crisis.
