I've been a CEO of a startup product company for a bit over a year now. It's so far removed from technology, I can't even tell you. Well, I can try.

Most of the time, they won't care. :) Not a joke. Want to know why? Come to the talk!
From cop, to fireman, to Senior Information Security Analyst at the Federal Reserve, Josh has been around the block a few times. He’s been staff at Shmoocon, Defcon, BSidesLV, Derbycon, and spoken at them as well as many other events.

Josh has been featured in American Book of Secrets “Big Brother” episode, and has been cited in numerous books and publications. In international politics, Josh has the infamous distinction of being the original authenticator of the Erdogan corruption wiretaps, as well as working on a Turkish forensic case that ultimately freed innocent journalists from being framed and imprisoned.
