Call me to talk about

Home Security

I'm an avid researcher of new attack methods, criminal psychology and practical implementations of home security. I have over 10 years experience working with police on many topics and working with chain stores and restaurants on theft and embezzlement. Have written extensively on home security and publish a methodology for locking down your home (http://www.isecom.org/research/hsm.html). You live your life your way and I'll show you how to protect it. Independent researcher means no commercial, product, or political agenda to sell you. Can answer questions like how to make a safer home for you, children or a home business, how to keep out thieves, how to reduce fraud and identity theft both in your yard and online, how to lock down a home for vacation or to wok from home, how to best install a security system, and how to deal with a break-in as it happens. I can help you before you spend too much money on your home security.

Teen: Risk Behavior, Cyber Bullying, Trust, Safety, and Learning

I am passionate about how people think and learn which is why when we began Hacker Highschool in 2003 to provide free security awareness lessons for teens, I threw myself head first into the latest neurobiology research on the how teens think, act, and learn and continued the research according to risk, security, safety, and trust. I have over 20 years experience working in security and privacy and over 10 years teaching children security awareness and showing parents and educators how children think about and approach risk and security. Independent researcher means no commercial, product, or political alliances to sell you. I can answer questions like how to handle a cyberbully, how to monitor your children's online activity in a respectful way, how to protect your children from online problems such as bullies, hackers, and malware, and why children lie and how to handle it. Before you stress out over child safety and security or from worrying about what your teen does online, let me help you.

Internet, Physical, Information Security/Analysis, Fraud, Penetration Testing

I'm an avid researcher of new security methods, attack surface analysis, psychology and practical implementations of trust, and neuro-hacking to apply new methods of learning to security awareness, building a culture of security, or managing insider threats. You do business your way and I'll show you how to secure it. Independent researcher means no commercial, product, or political alliances to sell you. Can answer questions like how to secure your desktops, how to introduce BYOD into a company, how to make employees care and remember about security, how to build a more secure infrastructure without spending more money on more security stuff, how to know or handle if you've been hacked, how to reduce fraud to your business, how to handle insider threats, how to implement security on a tight budget, how to keep your computer really safe from hackers and malware, and how to be prepared for a penetration test or security audit. Most companies waste money on unnecessary security solutions that don't work the way they think they do or are redundant. Before spending more money on more products and trainings, let me help you.
