Rob Joyce
Rob Joyce (@RGB_Lights) has been with the Nation Security Agency (NSA) for 29 years and has led organizations doing both foreign intelligence and cybersecurity work. He is the Senior Advisor for Cybersecurity, having recently returned from the White House as the Cybersecurity Coordinator where he worked national policy, synchronizing activity across the government and partners. His previous assignment was leading Tailored Access Operations (TAO), the organization developing tools, techniques and capabilities to exploit computers for NSA's foreign intelligence mission. Prior to that, he was the Deputy Director for Information Assurance, overseeing the protection of national security systems, which includes the nation's cryptographic key material, classified networks and warfighting networks. In his spare time, Rob builds a computerized Christmas light show. His most recent display was likely visible from the International Space Station. In addition to an infatuation with Christmas light displays, he helped a Boy Scout troop built catapults for the annual Punkin Chunkin competition until lawyers ruined it for all of us.
