Dr Eric Cole Founder and CEO Secure Anchor Consulting

Dr. Eric Cole, is a cyber James Bond (according to Fox News) who started off his career as a professional hacker trained by the CIA. He has the ability to make complex and dry topics exciting for his audience by drawing on his 30 years of experience helping entities understand and implement cost-effective security measures. His career has spanned industry and government roles including CTO at McAfee, Chief Scientist for Lockheed Martin, and member of the Commission on Cyber Security for President Barack Obama. Dr. Eric Cole is the author of several books, including Online Danger: How to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones from the Evil Side of the Internet. In 2014, he was inducted into the InfoSecurity Hall of Fame. Secure Anchor Consulting and I offer expertise across the whole spectrum of cyber security, including perimeter defense, secure network design, vulnerability discovery, penetration testing, and intrusion detection systems. Some of the current key focus areas include advanced threats, insider threat, CISO support and security coaching. Secure Anchor also works with startups and established enterprises bringing innovative products to market, and bridges the gap between executive and technical stakeholders. I bring additional experience in positioning technology for acquisition. I started in the cyber world as an analyst with the CIA, with computer security in its infancy, when most advanced threats manifested as physical instead of virtual. It became clear to me that this field requires constant, ongoing learning, or your knowledge and expertise will quickly expire. From the intelligence community, I landed at the SANS Institute and developed coursework that is now the foundation of SANS information security training and security certification, building out the Cyber Defense curriculum and authoring the top selling cyber security course. Now, my teaching, research, and the constant learning demanded by rapidly changing technology all merge to create a skill set and knowledge base that serve both individuals and corporations in their cyber security efforts. Sharing what I know, whether as a teacher or a speaker, fuels my desire to keep growing and giving each day. What can I help you understand?
