Jeannie Warner

Jeannie's path to computer security started with Dell tech support, then into a Unix Helpdesk, followed by Network Ops. She went to work at IBM as they were building out their Security Operations Center in 2001, and after a short while became their tech lead. She moved on to security analysis and forensics from there. After 10 years at IBM Security, she left for Microsoft's Security Research Center for a couple more years before returning to the Bay area to go to work for other players in the security space, with a brief stint off to Australia to run a global SOC operation. Jeannie currently serves as WhiteHat Security's security manager. She believes in application security as the Next Big Thing in the security space.
