Justin Bollinger is a Principal Security Consultant with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and testing large-scale network infrastructures across enterprise, manufacturing, healthcare, higher education, and retail. He specializes in network penetration testing, PKI, VPNs, QoS, and complex LAN/WAN architectures, and has been designing and implementing Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) deployments since 2011 — including networks supporting over 150,000 endpoints. Justin pairs deep Cisco security product expertise (ISE, ASA, Sourcefire, Ironport) with practical Microsoft and Linux administration skills, making him a go-to for uncovering weaknesses in network infrastructure that many pen tests miss. At TrustedSec he leads and collaborates on engagements that blend offensive testing with remediation, and contributes to open-source tooling such as TrustedSec’s hate_crack where he improved Hashcat-based cracking workflows. Based in Toledo, he holds a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering Technology and carries multiple Cisco and CNSSI certifications that reflect both breadth and operational depth.
