IrishMASMS (@IrishMASMS) is an old school hacker, fighting the good fight in Computer Network Defense (CND)/blue team efforts for over 19 years. Been lurking about since DEFCON 10, DJing the B&W ball at DEFCON 18 (with quite a few AP pool shindigs and private parties along the way). Panel member at HOPE 5, presenter at a couple of Notacon’s, LayerOne, Toorcon, Bsides, and some other conferences that are hard to remember or may lean on the more professional side. Having progressed through the ranks to hiring manager and director level, he has experienced the pain from both sides of the hiring process and desires to improve the situation for the InfoSec community. Is this where we mention cyberderp?
