Throughout my cybersecurity career I have been lucky enough to work with some of the best people and products. I was a user of ConnectWise SIEM for several years and now I have the privilege of sharing my experience with our partners. In my free time I even teach both offensive and defensive cybersecurity to the next generation of cyber professionals!
