Wonderful World of InfoSec

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.
