Dagan Henderson

Dagan Henderson is a Principal Engineer at Raft, LLC, where he specializes in Kubernetes platform development. Dagan’s interest in hacking dates back to the late 80s when AOL and BBSs were the spots (yep, he hosted a very short lived BBS from his home PC—and it got hacked). His first useful computer program was a DOS BAT on a bootable floppy that removed a very persistent Windows 95 Trojan, which he wrote for the mom-and-pop computer shop he worked at for his first job. While in college, Dagan began working for a medical services provider, and when his acumen with computer systems became well-known, he was asked to evaluate a new electronic medical records system. He was able to identify several information-disclosure vulnerabilities and work with the development team to address them. As his career in software engineering took off, Dagan remained committed to developing secure applications, which is essentially the art of not developing insecure systems, and he remains committed to the practice today. As a 25-year veteran of the industry, Dagan has seen (and made) many, many mistakes. He knows where bodies get buried.
