Jen Havermann

Over 20 years quietly lurking in the industry, in public and private sectors. I've had different security roles: instructor, information system security officer/manager, accreditor, system /network admin/engineer, vulnerability assessment/pentesting, incident response, cyber security operations, fixer of stuff, policy-writer/reviewer, enabler, and whatever else needs to get done at the time. Uncanny knack to sense coffee sources. Most efficient after at least one Americano, black, no room.

Kris Rides

I'm not an Australian..... this accent is from the other side of the world! Please don't look for the guy in a full Tuxedo as I'm not packing it for this Vegas visit. I'm a trained Social Engineering Penetration Tester and Founder of an InfoSec specialist recruitment and professional services company, Tiro Security based out of Los Angeles. I'm also one of the founding board members and current President of the LA Chapter of the Cloud Security Alliance Come talk to me about infosec staffing, penetration testing, vendor risk assessments and securing SMB's or over a beer about Snowboarding, tattoos and my obsession with diving with sharks!
