Security Operations Summit 2019

Jonathan is an independent consultant who specializes in large-scale enterprise security issues, from policy and procedure, through staffing and training, to scalable prevention, detection, and response technology and techniques. With a keen understanding of ROI and TCO (and an emphasis on process over products), he has helped his clients achieve greater success for over 20 years, advising in both the public and private sectors, from small upstarts to the Fortune 500. He's been commissioned to teach NCIS investigators how to use Snort, performed packet analysis from a facility more than 2000 feet underground, and chartered and trained the CIRT for one of the largest U.S. Civilian Federal agencies.

He has variously held the CISSP, GSEC, GCIA, and GCIH certifications, and is a member of the GIAC Advisory Board.

A former combat medic, Jonathan still spends some of his time practicing a different kind of emergency response, volunteering and teaching for both the National Ski Patrol and the American Red Cross.
