About John Allred
John Allred earned his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After MIT, he participated in a number of technical firsts – the first internal hard drive for the Macintosh, the first large scale networked simulation of military vehicles (SIMNET), and the first large scale networking engine for video games and distributed systems (RTIME, acquired by Sony as the enabling technology for all networked PlayStation 2 games). He has also done extensive work in layer 4-7 load balancing and SSL termination (F5 Networks); embedded applications and systems (Stratos, Apple); large scale web services, systems, security, and evangelism (Microsoft); cryptography, security, hardware interfaces, and malware analysis at a startup (InfoScape); High Performance Computing (Cray, IBM, Microsoft); cloud architecture and security (Microsoft); and Digital Forensics, Incident Response, and Cybersecurity operations (EY, Umpqua Bank, Riot Games). He has held the roles of Developer, Principal Engineer, and Chief Technology Officer. He excels at system architecture definition, technical presentations, and closing the technical sale. He is an inventor on one issued patent and several more in work at the US patent office.Specialties: incident response • MDR • EDR • Carbon Black • Microsoft Defender ATP • Splunk • HPC • High Performance Computing • Cloud • AWS • Azure • Fidelis • technical sales • problem solver • relationship management • malware • reverse engineering • memory forensics • cryptography • macOS • Unix • Linux • business recovery • disaster recovery • wireshark • root cause • cloud monitoring • IR • cloud IR • distributed systems • real-time • highly scalable • embedded • architect • secure • development • remediation • technical • leader • networking • tcp • CISSP • CCSP • GCFA • CEH
