I am the Founder of Lares and Lead of TruTV's Tigerteam, and a
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) whose main
area of expertise is focused on Red Team Testing and Social Engineering.
In order to help companies better defend and protect their critical data
and key information systems I have created a blended
methodology to assess, implement, and manage information security
realistically and effectively . On a daily basis I lead a team of
security consultants who conduct Security Risk Assessments, which can
cover everything from penetration testing, Application Testing and
vulnerability assessments, to policy design, computer forensics, Social
Engineering, Red Team Testing and regulatory compliance. Prior to
starting Lares, I was Director of Security Services at Alternative
Technology, a Sr. IT compliance at KPMG, Chief Security Architect at
Sprint Corporate Security, and developed an enterprise security design
as network engineer for an international law firm.
I have educated, trained, implemented, tested and presented
social engineering / social manipulation across a diverse blend of US
and international businesses. Through courseware,private and public
study as well as research innovations, I have created many
unique scnarios to expose risks in this ever growing section of
Information Security Risk. As the Team Leader and Social Engineering
Expert, I lead the mass public demonstration to millions of viewers
upon the airings of Court TV's Tiger team. A Reality television show
focusing on the red team testing and social engineering techniques of
Lares.
