**Charlie Mewshaw** is the security operations and incident handling team lead at UNC Chapel Hill's information security office and co-host of the podcast *Data@Rest*. He's a perpetual optimist that things are getting better in the field and that people, not appliances, are at the core of strong security programs. He has the CISSP, CASP, and GPEN certifications. He enjoys making things at work that kick off SCEP alerts and then watching the enterprise monitors try to figure out what just happened. His hobbies include video games, tabletop games, and hiking.
