Joe has been involved in information technology and security for over 20 years. Starting with a simple challenge to root a shelled server, morphing into a unix sysadmin, and diving into enterprise vulnerability management. Now, as a passionate Rapid7 senior security consultant, he has experience in all aspects of risk assessment, mitigation strategy and processes. He provides strategic insight, asks the difficult questions, and drives the conversations that Vulnerability Management teams should be having with their CISOs and CIOs. As a Florida native, urban redneck, backcountry explorer, experienced technical cave diver, and father, his demeanor and delivery can be thought provoking, educating and hilariously awkward at the same time.
