Episode Introduction

Our guest today has over 15 years of experience in IT, with expertise in team management and network/server management, information security, penetration testing, and auditing.

He is also knowledgeable across a variety of security products, including but not limited to: firewalls, network and host-based intrusion detection, security information event monitoring, email and web security gateways, and data loss prevention.

What I find really impressive is the credentials that he holds. The collection is too vast to go through them all, but for a brief overview, he has numerous certifications with Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, and EC-Council, among many others.

He also creates content for his YouTube channel, where he teaches about cybersecurity, IT, and network technologies, which has accumulated over 1 million views. He is also the Director of Offensive Security at Cloud Computing Concepts - a job title I think most of us dream about.
