John Simpson

John graduated from the Sheridan Information Systems Security program in 2015 and is currently a senior security researcher at Veracode. He started his career with a coop position at Deloitte and stayed on board after graduation, working in Security Operations Center engineering and vulnerability assessment/penetration testing roles. He then spent over 5 years as a vulnerability researcher at Trend Micro, and discovered several new vulnerabilities, authored blog posts for Trend Micro and Zero Day Initiative, and spoke at several conferences. At Veracode he researches new capabilities and features for Veracode’s application security services, primarily focusing on static code analysis.

Reminder that the session will also be delivered on Discord and YouTube still if you can’t make it. That said I hope to see a lot of you guys there!
