"I have spent the last 15 years helping to build security research teams and working strategically across product and engineering teams to help solve real world security challenges. I now focus most of my efforts on the identity security battleground which I see as vital in defending against modern cyber threats. As a side project I also run the Adventures of Alice and Bob podcast where we shine a light on"
