Alec has been working in the network security industry for more than ten years. For the first five years, he worked on the front line acting as level three support for clients often troubleshooting obscure bugs and issues alongside the major firewall vendors. Since that time he has continued working with these vendors and their products as a network security architect, designing end to end solutions in the enterprise. All the while Alec has never stopped questioning the underlying technology, what makes these products tick and what secures the security product.
