This Christmas, Infosecurity has invited some top industry names to each fill the role of guest editor for a day, and we are delighted to introduce James Lyne, who will be taking the reins today.
James is a self-professed ‘massive geek’ and has technical expertise spanning a variety of the security domains from forensics to offensive security. James has worked with many organizations on security strategy, handled a number of severe incidents and is a frequent industry advisor. He is a certified instructor at the SANS Institute and is often a headline presenter at industry conferences.
James firmly believes that one of the biggest challenges we face is in making security accessible and interesting to those outside the industry. As a result, he takes every opportunity to educate on security threats and best practice, always featuring live demonstrations and scenarios of how cyber-criminals operate in the real world.
James has given multiple TED talks, including at the main TED event. He’s also appeared on a long list of national TV programs to educate the public. As a spokesperson for the industry, he is passionate about talent development, regularly participating in initiatives to identify and develop new talent for the industry.
