Nick Bradley

Hello everyone, I am happy to make your virtual acquaintance. My name is Nick Bradley, and I am currently the leader of X-Force Incident Command. Our mission is to provide a rapid, unified incident command response structure for potential/confirmed crises that affects organizations globally and requires a public response from IBM Security. I have been in the security industry, physical and cyber, for close to 30 years and of those, I have spent over 18 years with IBM. I was lucky enough to join IBM when they acquired Internet Security Systems and I have been here ever since. I have spent the majority of my adult life with IBM and I wouldn’t change a thing. Looking back to my early days as a night shift security analyst, all I wanted to be was a member of the X-Force. Now, due to the opportunities afforded to me and due to great mentors and leaders, I am not only a member of the X-Force, but I am one of its leaders. Not only have I built a career with IBM, but I have also raised an amazing family. I am pretty sure my family would not be were it is today had I not been an IBMer. My wife is free to explore her arts and her part time career in acting while the crown jewels of our family, our twin daughters, are on their way to being commissioned as officers in the U.S. Army. Prior to all this, while married at a young age, my wife and I both joined the U.S. Army strait out of school. I spent my time in the military as part of the Military Police Corps while cross training in IT and what would eventually become the world of Cyber Security. While I do miss those days and have many a story to tell about my time with SRT, I could not be happier as part of the IBM X-Force family.
