About Russ Rogers

Amazon Author Page: current Game Credits: current areas of interest within security are related to the visualization of complex data patterns and the human computer interactions, as they pertain to security applications and appliances. I believe there are lessons to be learned from the video game industry on how users can interact with complex security applications, allowing for more intuitive control of these assets and a quicker understanding of the information within the application. I went back to school for a Game Programming degree because I believe it has the potential to change how we approach security related data and interactions-Internationally recognized expert on information security who has presented and trained in Singapore, Dubai, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Sao Paulo, and Abu Dhabi; and all around the United States and Canada.Keynote Speaker @ CodeBlue Conference in Tokyo - Oct 2020Keynote Speaker @ SaintCon Conference - Nov 2019Multi-time speaker at BlackHat USA, BlackHat Europe, BlackHat Asia, DEF CONTraining Review Board member for Black Hat since 2013.
