Testimonials

Scott Burchell
Ethical Hacking Team Lead
Optum

“Mr. Brian Johnson reported to me during my term managing the Application Security Test Team at UnitedHealth Group, Optum Technology. Brian provided thought leadership and direction supporting both security design and penetration test services for internal and external service offerings.

In addition to his technical leadership, Brian has a great personality allowing him to be approachable and fun to talk to but with an attitude to get things done. Brian is a trustworthy technical expert, and I would not hesitate when presented with an opportunity to bring Brian on my team again.”

Jadee Hanson
CISO, Code42

“Brian offers some outstanding trainings to choose from. We recently had Brian attend our Executive Meeting to share a version of the “Secure Yourself” training. Our executives love the interaction and hearing Brian’s stories of being in the field and seeing the effects of poor security practices first hand. Brian’s trainings are not only engaging and entertaining, they also come from a place of experience and first hand knowledge of the subject matter.”

Pete Hoang
Principal, Penetration Testing Lead at Fortune 50

“Brian Johnson is a person I can rely on in the team to get things done. He is a sharp technical person who can get things done with little explanation. He will figure it out. He is reliable. He is good with Kali Linux configuration and deployment as well. I would hire him in a heartbeat.”

Mark
Information Systems Security Manager for a community bank

“I have known Brian for almost 4 years and consider him to be a tremendously skilled and accomplished Information Security professional. His attention to detail, his personality, his base of knowledge and his work ethic are just a few of the many characteristics that make it a pleasure to work with Brian on any given project.

One unique trait of Brian, that very few professionals exhibit, is his ability to simplify information security topics into plain and simple language. A complementary trait is his ability to listen to concerns and tailor the proper solution to fit that concern. I look forward to my next opportunity to consult with him and learn from him.”

“Brian took time to really understand our business and assisted us with customizing the appropriate IT policies that would support our organization. He also performed internal and external scans of our network and assisted us with the remediation of certain deficiencies to help reduce our organizations risk.”

Schuyler Brown
Co-Founder, strongDM

“Brian has been a fantastic addition to the team. He’s not afraid to tackle a tsunami of work and always manages to keep a smile on his face no matter how much pressure he’s under. He’s thoughtful, capable of executing with minimal oversight and a pleasure to work with.”

John B. Fraser
CTO, Lifesprk

“We had never had a security review performed before so we were not exactly sure what to expect going into it. Brian did a great job of setting expectations up front, keeping us up to date during the evaluation and then spent time helping us understand the results. I wish working with a external consultant was always this easy. A++ from us!”
