Today we will be talking to one of our own, Tim Morgan. 

Tim has had a fascinating journey in the world of security. He started in his teens as an old school hacker. And now owns his own security consulting and research company headquartered right here in Portlandia. For the past three years, Tim has been working on a new, innovated, risk-based vulnerability management system called DeepSurface. It's built on both hard science and hard lessons that he learned from his customers over the years.  For more information about DeepSurface and Tim go to kanchil.com.

Tim's Bio:
After earning his computer science degrees (B.S., Harvey Mudd College and M.S., Northeastern University) and spending a short time as a software developer, Tim began his career in application security and vulnerability research. In his work as a consultant over the past 14 years, Tim has led projects as varied as application pentests, incident response, digital forensics, secure software development training, phishing exercises, and breach simulations. Tim has also presented his independent research on Windows registry forensics, XML external entities attacks, web application timing attacks, and practical application cryptanalysis at conferences such as DFRWS, OWASP's AppSec USA, BSidesPDX, and BlackHat USA.

For the past three years Tim has been building an innovative new risk-based vulnerability management product (DeepSurface) that helps his customers gain a much deeper understanding of the complex relationships present in their digital infrastructures.
