This talk is about OSINT and protecting personal privacy. As a pentester, a component of my job is social engineering and I show how I locate and piece together publicly available information on work engagements to carry out successful campaigns. Then I also talk about how people and companies can take back control of this information and protect themselves by being more selective about what information is shared or available online.
Chris is a Cybersecurity Engineer with Triaxiom Security, a consultancy based in Charlotte, NC. During his career, he has held both client facing and technical operational positions, working with business owners and executives in these roles. He merged his interest of technology and business by organizing community events, bringing local business leaders together to educate them on how to keep their data and their businesses safe. This led further into studying the offensive security side to better help companies test and solidify their security posture. With Triaxiom, he has carried out social engineering engagements and penetration tests against numerous companies over a wide range of industries – from small software developers to large healthcare providers.
He is very active in the local business community, sitting on non-profit Boards that support entrepreneurial initiatives. He is also in regular attendance at technology related events to stay current on business technology initiatives, and gives presentations at regional conferences.
