Back for more at DerbyCon 2012, Thomas gave a presentation on PKI at the first DerbyCon. Several people didn’t like it and tried to stir up trouble for him at a new job but the information owner was not concerned even after being notified by those trying to stir up trouble. It all blew over and nothing became of it. He still works in the Northern Virginia area. No longer a Fed, he returned to the dark side as a binary mercenary (defense contractor) shortly after DerbyCon 2011. In his current job, he’s making sure that security is baked-in rather than bolted on later for a new campus network in the DC Metro area.
