About Kevin Neely

TL;DR:One part law, one part literature, three parts tinkering with technology. Mix well, serve chilled.Robusto:I\'m passionate about building high-performing security cultures that prioritize collaboration, continuous learning, and proactive risk management. Security isn\'t just about technology; it\'s about understanding the business risks and translating them into actionable strategies. My twenty-plus years of experience bridge the gap between technical expertise and business acumen, allowing me to deliver impactful security solutions aligned with organizational goals.Throughout my career, I\'ve had the privilege of working with globally recognized companies, supporting business outcomes by delivering Information Security projects, and speaking at numerous conferences on topics such as data security and privacy. As a literature major, a technologist, a lawyer, small startup team member, and leader at a Fortune company, I understand the value of adaptability, resilience, and collaborative relationships in driving success. My leadership philosophy centers on empowering teams, fostering open dialogue, and driving results-oriented solutions. As a trusted advisor to my peers and a strategic thinker for my staff, experience has taught me the importance of transformation through both action and influence. As I look to the future, my mission remains simple: to elevate the industry\'s approach to data security and privacy by sharing knowledge, inspiring proactive shifts in how security is perceived and implemented. When not working, you can find me enjoying time with my amazing family or engaging in public speaking on application security and cybercrime topics.
