Jon Watkins, Manager of Information Services in the Energy Industry in west-central Ohio, is a self-confessed geek from as far back as he can remember. His first computer was a Commodore 64 he received at the age of 13 and he has never stopped learning about technology since that time. He has sold technology and been a web-dev programmer. Jon holds a Bachelor’s of Cyber Security from DeVry and graduated Summa Cum Laude from that challenging program. He has participated on the Red Team in the Department of Homeland Security’s program for securing SCADA and industrial control systems where he hacked the defenders in 45 minutes. He also placed in the top 10 at the SANS Institute’s hacking challenge in San Francisco in February 2016. A fun speaker who is passionate about cyber security and implementing it in practical ways, Jon loves to play music or draw when he’s not spending time with his wife, three kids, or his lovely grandchildren.
