Matt Austin

Matt has 18 years experience in cybersecurity and started in desktop support. This grew to server support, networking specialization, and then security. He has expanded his role over the years to be in a position to help others. "I enjoy the opportunity to help others - students and fellow SMEs. You're always learning more and applying what you learn when helping others."

As a hobby, he has been recently learning about bushcraft survival techniques.

His advice on how to get the most out of a SANS course is to apply the course concepts by doing the labs for the course and building your own environments to test things if/when possible.
