John Benninghoff started Transvasive Security to develop Behavioral Information Security, a new philosophy of security that draws on knowledge of how people behave and interact with information. He has spoken at national and regional security conferences, and writes regularly for his company blog at transvasive.com. John began his information security career when he was asked to build and deploy a Network IDS using free software (SHADOW) after returning from a SANS conference in 1998. John has experience in security policy, program management, incident response, identity management, and network security. John's accomplishments include developing a comprehensive vulnerability management program that effectively eliminated business outages due to network worms after it was implemented in 2001.
