BACE16 was bored as a firewall engineer so she started a Def Con Group in RTP, NC, DC919, to re-discover the joys of hacking with a community. Building on this, she also volunteers for BSides RDU and is a founding member of Cackalacky Con. She eventually found her calling as an incident response security analyst, finding bizarre things in logs and investigating user access behavior. While there’s so much work that can’t be spoken about, she hopes people will learn and push detection methods further together.
