A life-long hacker, Alyssa has a passion for technology and security. She bought her first computer herself at age 12 and quickly learned techniques for hacking modem communications and software. Her serendipitous career journey began as a software developer, which enabled her to pivot into security roles. Starting as a penetration tester, her last 15 years have seen her grow as a security leader with experience across various organizations. She regularly advocates for improved security practices and shares her research with business leaders and industry audiences through international public speaking engagements, online content and other media appearances.
