Jason Hengels

Jason founded Exposure in 2014 in response to growing requests from companies around the San Francisco Bay Area for veteran security leadership. Jason is a pragmatic security leader who comes from a strong technical security background. He founded Box’s security program and grew it from a one man show into an entire team of industry experts in under two years. Jason also held executive security leadership roles at Visa, CyberSource and Authorize.net. Jason feels compelled to do everything he can to help the industry progress. Over the last two years, Jason has also worked with CIO and author Mark Egan, as well as top-tier cybersecurity veterans, to create an Information Security program at Merritt College in Oakland, CA. Jason regularly teaches classes for the curriculum, which is intended to give young people in a traditionally underserved community the chance to become the security leaders of tomorrow.
