By day, Jerod Brennen is a strategic advisor, virtual CISO, public speaker, & storyteller. By night, he's a husband, father, writer, filmmaker, martial artist, musician, and gamer. It's fair to say that he's earned every gray hair in his beard, having spent his career serving as a cybersecurity leader in public utilities, retail, higher education, consulting, and technology. Jerod loves to share what he's learned over the years every chance he gets: at local and regional professional meetings, at larger conferences, and online via blogs and podcasts. He has published multiple online information security courses with Pluralsight and LinkedIn Learning, and he also teaches courses in person, both domestically and internationally. He brings a unique combination of perspective and experience to the table when helping organizations improve their cybersecurity programs, focusing on the business value of an effective, efficient, forward-thinking cybersecurity program. At the end of the day, Jerod just wants to help folks get one step closer to doing what they want to do securely.
