Who am I? I,m Jerod (@slandail) a Security Solutions Architect with One Identity. By night, I,m a husband, father, writer, filmmaker, martial artist, musician, and gamer. I think it,s fair to say that I,ve earned every gray hair in my beard, having spent my career fulfilling infosec roles in consulting, higher education, retail, and public utilities. I like to share what I,ve learned over the years with local and regional information security professional organizations, as well as attendees at larger information security conferences. In addition to writing articles like this one, I teach information security courses, both domestically and internationally. At the end of the day, I just want to help folks get one step closer to doing what they want to do securely.
