Bronwen Aker has played with computers since elementary school when she was introduced to FORTRAN programming using bubble cards. She worked for twenty years in web development, and as a technical trainer, before entering the world of cybersecurity. Today she is a graduate of the 2017 SANS CyberTalent Academy for Women, works part-time for SANS as a Subject Matter Expert and for Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) as a technical editor, all while she finishes her bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity. When not playing with computers, virtual and otherwise, she likes to go on long walks in the mountains with her dogs.
