Kenton Riley@clueax@infosec.exchange
I've been silently following & observing for a couple weeks, so it appears I'm overdue for an #introduction post.
Professionally, I've been #BlueTeam #infosec for about 16 years. I've evolved into more of a policy & guidance role over the years, but I'm also still the #incidentresponse lead. I'll try to share what I can when I can.
The first #Derbycon was my first infosec conference I attended. The second through final, I was a volunteer. I've also volunteered for #CircleCityCon every year except their 2nd.
I'm a #USNavy #veteran, 4x college #dropout who had no career direction and eventually got an AAS degree in network administration in my 30s. I was working for an employer who had no IT security at the time, so I raised my hand and started my infosec career. I collect IT certs like kids collect pokemon but never submit CPEs - I just move on to another cert. I've had 7 #GIAC certs at this point (8th pending), but only 2 are currently active. Also have expired #PMP, #CISSP, and... lots of lesser stuff.
Apparently, I make a pretty damn good #cheesecake. Also a serviceable #mixology home bartender.
I've completed 7-ish(?) #marathon and a handful of half...but weight gain and age have kept me from adding any in the last 4 years. Also have a decent bike that I ride on a stand more than I do outdoors.
Most Wednesday evenings you can catch me at #Zanzabar for the Louisville #Cartoonist Society weekly "Drink and Draw." I don't draw, but I have a few friends who do and I enjoy practicing the drinking part.
Married, no kids. Both me and my pups (3 of them) are #snipped.
My politics trend very #liberal and I try to back that up with actions and financial support.
