Pete Herzog
Managing Director at ISECOM
Pete Herzog is the shining example of a hacker trying to fix the
world. He built a career out of taking apart the security world piece
by piece to figure out how it works (but he still can’t put it back
together). Then he writes about it, a lot. You can find articles and
projects from him all over the place, especially at the non-profit
research organization, The Institute for Security and Open
Methodologies (ISECOM), he co-founded in 2001 to help make this
happen. There you’ll find his work with the Open Source Security
Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM), Hacker Highschool, and the
Cybersecurity Playbook as well as work in trust metrics,
authentication, social engineering, vulnerabilities, risk analysis,
and so much more. Pete also teaches training classes, coaches
corporations on cybersecurity, analyzes the security for Smart Cities,
develops security products, advises start-ups, and hacks things.
