Darren is a pretty cool dude. He is Engineering Director for Google's Enterprise Infrastructure Protection team. He has recently returned to live in Auckland, but manages a global team of 200 engineers responsible for ensuring Alphabet's infrastructure is resilient against attack. Over the past 14 years at Google, Darren has served in many roles, including as tech lead for Google's Global Incident Response team, managing Google's European detection team in Zürich, and founding and developing the open source GRR Incident Response framework. Prior to Google, he worked for 8 years in banking and security consulting in New Zealand, and had the dubious honor of founding a number of the early infosec communities in New Zealand such as ISIG.
