Grayson Berman Email and Phone Number
I talk about cybersecurity in plain language. No tech background needed.It all started when I got struck by a train.Well... struck by an idea while I was on a train.I was waiting for BART, leaving San Francisco, after the world's biggest cybersecurity conference (RSA).While waiting, I saw a guy with an RSA bag and struck up a conversation.He spoke about his startup, then admitted he had no idea how to handle security."What do I do? I don’t have the money or direction for cybersecurity. Should I buy laptops for everyone? What if they use their personal ones? What software do I need?"He wasn't some tech newbie... he was an experienced software engineer. And if he didn't know what to do, who would?I started thinking back to all the times family, entrepreneurs, and business owners had asked me about cybersecurity over the years. There’s a massive gap between normal people and cybersecurity know-how.That gap is dangerous.Just a few weeks before writing this, someone in my family was targeted. A scammer sent him a photo of his house with ominous threats attached.He didn't know what to do. He showed me and asked, "Should I take this to the FBI?"No. He got your email and address, then looked you up on google earth.To a cyber pro, it seems silly.We see these scams ALL the time.But to everyone else it's FRIGHTENING.Cybersecurity isn’t a small issue. It’s huge. And I want everyone to have the chance to understand it.But surely, with ALL the cybersecurity experts out there, someone must be spreading the word, right?Well… kind of.Most content out there is extremely technical. Written by experts, for experts. It’s hard to find a voice that speaks directly to non-cyber people.There’s a need for a translator—someone who’s been in the technical trenches, navigated policies, and understands the business side... and who can make it all accessible.That’s why I’m here. To break down the expert "mumbo jumbo" and make cybersecurity something anyone can grasp.My background?-Executive at a global cybersecurity company (Chief Operating Officer)-Managed cybersecurity policy for a nuclear research facility (Information System Security Officer)-Protected the world's biggest defense contractor from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and cybercrime groups (Cyber Intelligence Analyst)-Sold cybersecurity advisory and services to small and medium businesses across the U.S.-B.S. in Computer ScienceCyber threats are here to stay, but they don’t have to be mysterious. I'm here to be your guide. 🔍Cheers,Grayson Berman
