Who is he really ?

Hey, I'm Ethan! I enjoy camping (In the woods, with the bears) and working with complex systems. I like to make them run smoothly, and then bolster their defences so they stay that way.

What do I do?

Cybersecurity

We expect our information systems to behave in certain ways - and yet, unlike physical objects or processes, we have no way of seeing what exactly is going on. Cybersecurity is, first and foremost, a visibility problem - to dig in under the hood; to find problems before attackers do; to continuously monitor systems to provide assurance that they are operating how we would like.

Consulting

Where cybersecurity is deeply technical, consulting is deeply personal. Where metal and electrons are deterministic (we think), humans are anything but. Consulting is the intersection of two opposing disciplines; to listen to and understand the needs of people and organizations, and to provide technical solutions to often qualitative problems.

Camping

The less cell service, the better. I highly recommend NY's Department of Environmental Conservation - they maintain beautiful wilderness all over NY, where primitve camping is frequently allowed.
