Jason Ferguson 🦉 Email & Phone Number

SALES/BDR reps: Look, I get it. But let's be friends first before you start hammering for demos and asking a bunch of personal/internal questions about my needs and how I run my program. I want to build connections, understand capabilities, and be enabled to make informed choices when the time comes. Don't connect then blast me please. The core exception is, I have one phrase that will ALWAYS prompt a response. Read my roles and responsibilities carefully, but feel free to connect and network.With over two decades experience as a software engineer and (more recently) security professional, I currently serve as the Senior Director of Product Security at ConnectWise, overseeing critical aspects of the overall product security operations and responsible disclosure program. I wear a lot of hats, build bridges between organizations, put out fires or say BEEEEEP if smoke, but my primary focus internally is the ongoing security of our product portfolio.Recognizing the growing importance of product security within the industry, I helped ConnectWise transition into a security first mindset and proactively safeguard ConnectWise’s products, colleagues, partners and downstream consumers (the world) against potential and ongoing threats.Strong advocate for transparency to establish trust, and ethical responsibility. Extremelly proud to work with my team and establishing the VDP and product security policies and processes at ConnectWise, changing the entire perception and reality in our community surrounding the security of our products.When I’m not using my spiderman intuition to feel out threats, I’m a proud father of 5 children (with more on the way). In my free time, I mostly read children’s books, watch children’s cartoons, play hide and seek or other fun games such as “why are all the barbies in the toilet”.I’ve recently taken up woodworking as a hobby… mostly making baby rattles.

Listed skills include Firebug, Development, Mysql, E Commerce, and 53 others.
