Welcome to Hexacorn!

Over last 2 decades I gained experience working directly and indirectly with companies, organizations and agencies all over the world. I worked with law enforcements, governments, financial authorities, financial companies, large consulting companies, US Defense contractors, card schemes, merchants as well as charities. I am BSc and over the years obtained many industry-standard certificates including CISSP, CISM, QSA, GCIH, GREM (I do not maintain them though).
