I'm working to advance cybersecurity and improve public safety through active collaboration with security experts, policymakers, industry leaders, and other influencers. Adoption of innovative connected technologies delivers a wealth of benefits in every aspect of our lives, but it comes with risks of technical manipulation or failure. Addressing this risk involves creating positive social change to protect technology users (everyone) across the world. I help security pros work with governments, the private sector, and nonprofits to reduce consumer and organisational cyber-risk. I have a strong focus on leveraging real world data and technical research to dispel security myths and uncover real threats, developing solid best practices and norms, collaboration and advocacy to drive their adoption, and participating in policy discussions to ensure legislative responses are helpful and productive. I do these things through my company, NextJenSecurity, as a co-chair of the Ransomware Task Force, as a core member of I Am The Cavalry (https://www.iamthecavalry.org/), and through various board/advisory/mentoring positions in the security community, including for the Aviation Village (https://aviationvillage.org/). @infosecjen
