Paul Ziegler specializes in assisting large corporate customers with information security research and training. Being completely self-taught, his speaking style tends to be unconventional, but easy to follow. Paul graduated high school in 2007 and gave his first speeches at DefCon and Black Hat immediately after. He then emigrated from Germany to Japan where he began working various information security jobs for corporate customers. He founded Reflare in 2010 to facilitate his work. His work has given him a comparatively shallow but in turn wide understanding of information security. Merging two different - and often seemingly unrelated - fields has led to many speeches across all major conferences.
