Who am I and why should you care?

Well, if you are reading this page you were looking for me, referred to this page, or bored.

I am a professional geek that offers a variety of consulting services with a focus on network and information security. As you can tell by my choice of web page that web design is not an area that I offer as a service. A majority of my consulting engagements are helping clients meet compliance requirements (primarily PCI DSS) and creating remediation plans. I have served as an E-Discovery consultant and worked with numerous local and federal agencies. I also provided some of the first detections of Conflicker B / Downadup B (yeah, lucky me right?).

On these pages you will find random rants, notes to myself, and maybe the occasional useful nugget of information. If you find something that is useful please feel free to bookmark or tweet accordingly.

Thanks,

Eric
