If your problems include difficulty understanding how attackers think, how they operate, and how they break systems; if you want to actually achieve security excellence (as opposed to just meeting a minimum, or being “compliant”); if you aren’t yet sure whether your approach is effective or if your security investments are good ones; if you’re concerned about how expensive, difficult, and uncertain security is; if you need to demonstrate to your customers, shareholders, board, and industry that you take security seriously and are worthy of their trust & business … Ted is the security expert for you.
