About the Authors

Joshua Feldman (CISSP) is Senior Vice President for Security Technology at the Radian Group – a real estate and mortgage insurance conglomerate. His mission is focused on protecting over 10M US consumer financial records. He is the executive responsible for all aspects of Radian’s technical security program. Previous security roles included work at Moody’s Credit Ratings, Corning Inc, and the US Department of Defense and Department of State.

In 2008, Joshua was Eric's student when studying for the CISSP exam and was so impressed with Eric’s mastery of the materials that he invited Eric to work with him at the DoD. Quickly after starting work, Eric invited Seth. That project ran successfully for over eight years – a testament to the value brought for US military cyber professionals.

Joshua got his start in the cyber security field when he left his public-school science teaching position in 1997 and began working for Network Flight Recorder (NFR, Inc.), a small Washington, DC based startup making the first generation of Network Intrusion Detection Systems. He has a Bachelor’s of Science from the University of Maryland and a Master’s in Cyber Operations from National Defense University. He currently resides in Philadelphia with his little dog, Jacky-boy.

Seth Misenar (CISSP®, GSE, GDSA, GDAT, GMON, GCDA, GCIH, GCIA, GCFA) is a Fellow with the SANS Institute and also serves as Principal Consultant for Jackson, Mississippi-based Context Security, LLC. His cyber security background includes research, host-based and network intrusion detection, architecture design, and general security consulting. Seth previously served as a physical and network security consultant for Fortune 100 companies and a state government agency’s HIPAA and information security officer. He has partnered with the SANS Institute for over 15 years, teaching and authoring courseware and facilitating instructor development. Seth is pursuing a Master of Science degree in Information Security Engineering from the SANS Technology Institute and holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Millsaps College.

Eric Conrad (CISSP, GIAC GSE, GPEN, GCIH, GCIA, GCFA, GAWN, GSEC, GMON, GISP), is a SANS fellow and Chief Technology Officer of Backshore Communications, which provides threat hunting, penetration testing, incident handling, and intrusion detection consulting services. Eric started his professional career in 1991 as a UNIX systems administrator for a small oceanographic communications company. He gained information security experience in a variety of industries, including research, education, power, Internet, and healthcare, in positions ranging from systems programmer to security engineer to HIPAA security officer and ISSO. He is coauthor of MGT414: SANS Training Program for the CISSP Certification, SEC511: Continuous Monitoring and Security Operations, and SEC542: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking.
