Tanner stumbled into cybersecurity almost by accident and never looked back. While working IT support early in his career, he caught the attention of the security team and landed a role that made him switch his major from computer science to information security within weeks. Now at Huntress, Tanner brings expertise from the defense sector, having previously worked at BAE Systems and Collins Aerospace. With a B.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, he's particularly interested in malware analysis and threat intelligence. What he values most about Huntress? Working alongside brilliant, humble experts who care deeply about the mission.
When he's not analyzing threats, you'll find Tanner tackling DIY projects, tinkering with electronics, or having earnest conversations with his cats. His favorite cybersecurity tip: use MFA and unique passwords everywhere most breaches don't require sophisticated hacking, just old exposed credentials.
