Summary
Joe Loughry is a researcher and cybersecurity specialist with 13 years of experience pioneering unconventional attack and defense techniques, including laser-based side-channel exploits that target air-gapped systems. He holds a PhD from Oxford and has blended academic rigor with practical impact through roles at universities, government-facing consulting, and industry work at Lockheed Martin where he authored patents on TEMPEST countermeasures and nested digital signatures. Joe teaches and advises on high-assurance cross-domain systems, regulatory compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, Sarbox), and validated security test methodologies for intelligence and coalition environments. Known for hands-on, sometimes startling demonstrations—from decapping ICs to directed-energy cyberweapons—he translates cutting-edge research into real-world vulnerability assessments and certification strategy. Based in Colorado, he runs Netoir.com and maintains active engagement in cybersecurity research and disclosure.
