His consulting firm offers high-touch engagements to the SMB market, specializing in social engineering; penetration testing; incident response; governance, risk, and compliance; and security education.

A lifelong learner, Chris holds many industry certifications (e.g., Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Ethical Hacker, PCI Professional, CMMC Provisional Assessor and Instructor, ISACA’s Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control) and is continually expanding his licensing on pace as the cybersecurity industry evolves.
