Created 11 years ago in Technology / Other

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.
