Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCurt Barnard is a cybersecurity leader and entrepreneur with 11 years of hands-on experience driving offensive and defensive programs across startups, government, and enterprise. As Head of Continuous Pentesting, and previously Principal Security Researcher at Rapid7 and founder of multiple security startups, he builds scalable attack and vulnerability management systems while also launching research-grade honeypots and global scanner deployments. He blends deep technical skills (Kali, Metasploit, ELK/Splunk) with business acumen—raising VC, selling a web-app prototype for $2M, and evaluating tech for In-Q-Tel and government customers. A practiced public speaker and conference contributor (BlackHat Arsenal, DerbyCon), Curt pairs academic rigor (MS in Cyber/Electronic Operations) with practical product delivery. Based in Silver Spring, he’s equally likely to be found sailing or cycling when not reducing enterprise risk.
