Software SecurityMark Bennett

Mark Bennett has been in the security field now for ten years and has worked with many different types of technologies. He has seen the changes in threats over the years and has worked diligently at learning how to mitigate, as well as protect against them.
Mark started off as a System Administrator for a company, administrating a UNIX network. He moved eventually to full service VAR where he would go to different customer sites installing, configuring and troubleshooting customer related issues. He has a broad view of the industry due to this experience and has applied his knowledge in different environments and industries, from automotive, to law enforcement. He helped to design and build a redundant data center solution across two different states providing the security architecture for it for a Health Care Organization.
Marks drive for knowledge took him in the direction of Intrusion Detection/Prevention, and later to his GCIH in Incident Handling. He was so amazed and humbled by the things being taught by the instructor that he wanted very much to teach others what he had just learned. He attended the SANS at night program to learn how to become a SANS Instructor, and knew at that time, that was the direction he wanted to go. Mark realizes that teaching as a SANS instructor gives him the opportunity to break away from vendor specific security and embrace a much broader view of threats and security related issues outside of just a few vendors viewpoint.
Mark is also a Black Belt instructor and believes, you may be an instructor, but you are always a student. This humbling attitude approach to being an instructor keeps your skills sharp. Helping others to learn helps you to learn.
