Andrew Jones knew he wanted to be a Network Engineer since he was 16 and began his first job as a desktop tech in the IT department of a network equipment manufacturer in Dallas. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin and achieving that goal, his career path naturally evolved into security by being the only person on staff with enough Linux experience to stand up a Snort deployment following a breach incident. Since then, Andrew has overseen IT Security for a defense contractor, been an analyst at DHS US-CERT, and had a lot of fun as an SE for start-ups such NetWitness, FireEye, Tanium, and Shape Security. In his downtime, you can (try to) find Andrew riding his Harley in northern Virginia, or on the way to Bardstown, KY.
