Philip Hagen

Philip Hagen has over 14 years of experience in creating and deploying strategic and ad-hoc IT and infosec solutions. He has managed small, tactical projects and large government contracts.

Phil started his security career while attending the US Air Force Academy, with research covering both the academic and practical sides of security. He served in the Air Force as a Communications Officer, and was assigned to a base-level Year 2000 project management office. The plans he helped create were later used during California's rolling power blackouts. At the Pentagon, he later managed a support team serving 200 analysts.

In 2003, Phil shifted to a government contractor, providing technical services for exotic IT security projects. These included systems that demanded 24x7x365 functionality. He supported the design, deployment, and support of a specialized network for 100 security engineers in ten offices. He later managed a team of 85 computer forensic professionals in the National Security sector.

Most recently, Phil formed Lewes Technology Consulting, LLC. He applies his IT and security experience to small and medium businesses as they track toward their business goals, and performs forensic casework and infosec training.
