Casey Smith

Casey Smith's cybersecurity journey began in the early 2000s at Cisco Systems, where he contributed to the groundbreaking SAFE (Secure Architecture for Enterprise) initiative — sparking a career-long passion for testing the boundaries of defensive systems. He is the co-creator of Atomic Red Team, a widely adopted open-source testing framework, and has held impactful roles at Red Canary, Thinkst Canary, and in the financial sector. 

At Huntress, Casey focuses on adversary tactics with a keen interest in identity-based attacks. He's driven by a simple but powerful philosophy: if you haven't tested it, it doesn't work. When he's not outsmarting adversaries, Casey can be found exploring the Colorado outdoors or diving into a good non-fiction book.
