Erik Barnett
Regional Technical Manager
Solutionary

I am a global information security professional with over 13 years of experience in cyber security. I’ve traveled to various parts of the world including Brazil, Dubai and Singapore, to share cyber security information, experience, attack trends and ideas with other top security professionals.

Fun Factoid
My first career was not as a cyber security professional. My first choice was explosive demolitions in the United States Marines where I had plenty of fun coming up with new ways to blow things up. I was famous for my C-4 snowman. However, I have always been interested in cyber security ever since my special screening of the movie “Hackers”.

Areas of Focus
I thrive on anything cyber security related: latest attacks, exploits, policies, procedures, security postures, vulnerability management, data encryption, SIEM technology, incident response, or future technology attack vectors/areas.

When I'm not working or reading the latest cyber security news, you can find me either fishing from “anything” that floats or writing/producing music. I also play basketball in a year round league, known for my tenacious defense and sinister smile. Last but not least, I enjoy a good prank. Oddly enough, it only takes six hours to “Aluminum Foil” a cubicle and everything inside it. If you ever find everything in your office taped, or plastic wrapped to your desk…. It wasn’t me.
