Kyle Adams has been involved with security since a very early age. Self-taught, he learned the basics of hacking and security defense strategies long before entering the professional world. Early on, much of his professional focus was on web security threats like SQLi, XSS, CSRF, etc…but more recently he started researching and working on products to defend against malware based threats. Kyle helped build and design the first commercial security solution based on deception and misinformation, evolving the concept of honeypot technology from a purely academic endeavor to a realistic intrusion prevention strategy (Junos WebApp Secure, formerly Mykonos). He is now working on introducing similar deception techniques as a detection and prevention methodology into the malware space.
