Cyber Security Innovator | Entrepreneur | Advisor | Researcher | Author & SpeakerI am a serial entrepreneur, inventor, and futurist with deep expertise in cyber security, crime prevention, fraud detection, and industrial espionage mitigation. My mission is to help organizations manage technology risk and strengthen cyber resilience in an increasingly complex threat landscape.As a seasoned security researcher, I bring an innovative approach to identifying and responsibly disclosing threats. I have world-class experience securing IoT, ICS/SCADA, utility, financial, healthcare, and other critical networks through advanced techniques like threat modeling, segmentation, penetration testing, and incident response. My areas of specialization include application security, fuzzing, honeypots, open-source intelligence, and attacker deception.Throughout my career, I have brought over a dozen cutting-edge security products to market and hold two U.S. patents. I serve as a trusted advisor, mentor, and investor to technology startups globally, having reviewed hundreds of products for security and scalability. I also prepare entrepreneurs for funding rounds and deliver market trend analysis to major brands.Driven by a passion for educating others, I have advised boards on risk management, mentored executives and regulators, and contributed to a U.S. Congressional cybersecurity task force.
