About Me

Hi, my name is Matt and I'm a consultant on the incident response team at Mandiant.

This website exists as a way to share my thoughts with the greater security community and beyond. The site is still a work in progress (and probably always will be) as I figure out how I want it to look and what is worth writing about.
