Bio
Tom O'Connor
Pete is a humble giant in the cyber-security space who is an exceptional security tactician, open source expert and world class security consultant. More than any other security expert I know, Pete has done more to educate security professionals, businesses and the public about security through his team's excellent work at ISECOM, on projects such as the OSSTMM (downloaded over 3.5 million times a year), Hacker High School and the numerous professional security certifications that he has brought to market. While working at Citi, I had the pleasure of working with Pete on an early version of the OSSTMM; his pioneering efforts to quantify risk and design a security assessment methodology that's so widely used today is just one of the many reasons I hold Pete in such high regard. He is a true path maker, creative, insightful and always practical in service of the broader good.

Pete's efforts at ISECOM have provided the infosec community with years of cyber security experience codified in a the OSSTMM. This is an important and valued contribution.
