About

Bio

I’m Adam, and I’ve done some security things, in higher-ed, government, public, and private organizations. In each of these, I’ve gotten the chance to learn a wide range of methods and points to wage war on the bad guys. Now I lead a team of like minded security pros that apply analytical methods to root out the bad guys.
