Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen Koltz is a cyber security analyst with nine years of engineering experience who currently protects systems at BAE Systems in New York. He brings a practical background in software development—having built revenue-focused web applications and ad-order systems in PHP and Perl—to threat assessment and penetration testing. A self-described pentester and occasional blogger, he combines hands-on offensive security skills with an ability to explain risky behaviors to non-technical audiences (yes, he can convince people "password" is a bad choice). His physics degree and teaching experience inform a methodical, investigative approach to incident analysis and vulnerability hunting.
