Mention "Commodore Amiga" around Conrad and watch him get misty-eyed for the 'good old days' of the computer underground and the Demo-writing scene. An early background in searching for forbidden knowledge, pushing computing hardware to its limits and a nose for the truth, made for a perfect storm toward a career in Incident Response, where over a decade and a half he has been on the front lines of defense work in telecom, medical and media corporations, not least of which being at ground zero for the 2011 RSA Breach.

A firm believer that incident response must become an accessible and effective discipline available to all, he works on bringing the mysteries of open source intelligence generation and defensive agility to those willing to take the leap from fear to action, mostly via the medium of code, (and visio diagrams).
