Kevin Hernandez

I’m an Information Security Professional that has been employed in several sectors of the industry. I personally believe that our profession and our responsibility does not end when we log off from our office computers, but instead, should be around us 24/7 as an integral part of our lives. The security provided by IoT companies is not the best, regardless of being from a major developer or minor developer, and therefore it is our responsibility as information security professionals, or as parents to secure our network to the best of the abilities.

I love learning from others and sharing my knowledge. I’m no expert or Guru but the little that I know will be under extensive research and collaboration with colleagues. What I learn is also applied to the real world and validated in labs, simulations, and others to assure it is operational. My current hobbies include D&D, video games, and sports such as Mixed Martial arts (MMA) and Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ).
