Brian Halbach

Brian Halbach graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout with a degree in Information Technology Management and a Minor in Computer Science. During college, Brian spent several years working as a help-desk employee, which later led to a career as a Systems Administrator and then Network Engineer for both small companies and Fortune 5 companies. After realizing the lack of security that many organizations had Brian spent time as a lead Network Security Engineer helping organizations deploy the tools, technology, and processes to help make them more secure. After spending years helping defend organizations and realizing that companies still had problems seeing and understanding their security gaps, Brian switched over to red teaming and penetration testing, where he is able to use his knowledge and understanding of people, systems, and programming to bring new insights and intuition to his security testing. One of the things Brian enjoys the most about working in security consulting is being able to talk to clients about their issues and being able to help find answers to security questions when there is not an obvious solution.
