Duncan Sparrell (@dsparrell) is a seasoned (aka old) network security evangelist with 38 years of expertise in conceiving, developing and delivering state-of-the art software platforms. Duncan graduated from RPI with Bachelor and Master Degrees in Electrical Engineering back when computers were the size of buildings and programmed with punch cards. He joined AT&T Bell Labs before most of the attendees were born and is now enjoying retirement and having time to get funny letters after his name (CSSIP, CSSLP, CCSK, PE) and to go to cons. Duncan has been doing cybersecurity since the first Gulf War where he worked red team projects that helped him recognize how far behind the blue team was. Working as the lead architect in Chief Security Office, Duncan architected many of AT&T’s network security technologies and programs. In 1994, the US Government awarded Duncan the Intelligence Seal Medallion and in 2010 AT&T awarded him the AT&T Science and Technology Medal. He resides in Virginia but summers on Lake Canandaigua. His passions include his family, genealogy, NoVa Hackers, cloud security, agile, secure software development, and the erlang programming language.
